THE CIMMERIAN – An Age Undreamed Of… Out Now and Streaming!

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , on January 13, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Los Angeles (CA) – Doom/Thrash trio THE CIMMERIAN set a crushing tone for the new year with today’s release of An Age Undreamed Of…, the band’s first full-length album! This rogue set conjures images of high adventure and mayhem with an aggressive mix of sludgy-based rumblings, caustic fuzz-filled riffs, and sonorous war drumming that recalls High on Fire, among others.

Stream the album and purchase the CD from the band’s own Hyborian Rage Records at: thecimmerian.bandcamp.com/album/an-age-undreamed-of-2/

An Age Undreamed of… is also available on Spotify.

The 12″ colored vinyl LP version is available from Black Voodoo Records.

THE CIMMERIAN:
Bass/vocals: Nicolas Rocha
Guitars: David Gein
Drums: David Morales

The groundwork for THE CIMMERIAN was laid in 2021 by guitarist David Gein and bassist Nicholas Rocha, two-thirds of crossover thrash group Septik Onslaught. The two were writing what would become the band’s first EP when a Craigslist ad brought drummer David Morales – armed with unyielding energy and a bag of Halloween candy to the fold.

THE CIMMERIAN delivers a wall of sound that draws inspiration from the likes of Motörhead, Black Sabbath, Venom, and Gates of Slumber. Lyrical themes informed by a deep understanding of world history, mythology, and historical literature weave throughout this chainmail tapestry.

The band released their debut EP, Thrice Majestic, in the summer of 2022. By early 2023, they returned to Robert Frank’s Minor Chord Studio to record the two-track cassette/digital release, Sword & Sorcery Vol. I.

Follow THE CIMMERIAN, for it is Crom’s will. If you don’t – to hell with you!

Death metal gladiators EX DEO, the Juno-nominated project of KATAKYLSM frontman Maurizio Iacono, have unleashed their highly anticipated new EP Year Of the Four Emperors on Reigning Phoenix Music, via its partnership with Distortion Music Group. The album is out now digitally and on CD, with a limited edition vinyl to follow on March 14th, 2025. To celebrate, the band has also unveiled a stunning lyric video for the EP’s penultimate track “Vitellius”. The lyrics reveal a man driven by bloodlust, yet powerless to escape his fate. Vitellius’ violent end is portrayed with haunting finality, a reminder of Rome’s volatile power.

Canada’s MARBLE GHOSTS Unleash “Distance Between” A Blistering Anthem For Divided Times

Sophomore EP “The Greatest Divide” Out April 2025

Marble Ghosts, the Canadian boundary pushing ensemble known for their distinctive blend of metal, grunge, and punk influences, has announced their highly anticipated second EP “The Greatest Divide” set for release on April 4, 2025. The band comments on the first, explosive single “Distance Between”:

“From the opening lyric of the EP, “Here we are in the greatest divide”, the songs explore the ever-growing rift between almost every part of modern-day society. From the rich and the shrinking middle class to widening gaps in political and religious ideologies, the EP was inspired by our reality.”

Musically, the single shows off its punk-metal roots, never relenting from beginning to end. The biting rapid-fire verses meet the band’s characteristic soaring choruses. The band shows off its guitar chops with a blistering solo that perfectly matches the song’s energy. The song crescendos with another feverish solo over top desperate screams.

The EP and the single are recommended for fans of Alter Bridge, Shinedown, and Saint Asonia.
