The band comments:
“Well, here it is.
We’ve been waiting for this moment like the rising sun, and we’re more than happy to finally let you all listen to our day’s work!
We’re talking of course about our just released debut album entitled ‘Meadows Of Misfortune’. A collection of raw, young emotion scattered across 10 songs that showcase northern melancholy, rage and loss through fast riffs, blast beats and horrid screams.
We really hope you enjoy the album and maybe find something you can relate to!”
