GARGOYLE from Reggio Calabria, south-Italy, are ready to unleash their new full-length "Hail to the Necrodoom"!
From pulsatingly threatening, sawtooth evil-driven marches to haunting arpeggios, cursed choirs and horror escapism, "Hail to the Necrodoom" paints the cinematic music spectrum black and violet. Loaded with 9 original tracks, the album has a life of its own – just like the living dead in all the Italian horror movies masterpieces of the 70s and 80s.
Crafted by four maniacs already active in various bands (Boia, Temptress...) and under the sign of nordic dark maestros such as Mayhem and Dissection and Italian occult masters like Mortuary Drape, Death SS, Abysmal Grief and many others, GARGOYLE redefine the way to play obscure metal...they call it NECRODOOM!
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Alessio Mauro at LM Recording Studio, Reggio Calabria.
