Reno (NV) – U.S. Death Metal duo FOG WALL have released “The Accursed,” the second single from forthcoming debut album, Gloomweaver. Gloomweaver will be released on September 4th!

“The Accursed is a descent into madness, as the people’s champion becomes a disgusting horse-shaped amalgamation of beastly bloodlust and ironic tragedy, guided only by a whispering magic sword and holy moonlight.”

– Zak Brady (Fog Wall)

A lyric video for “The Accursed” is available at: youtu.be/Fz3dm7h4xjY

The song is available on all digital platforms, including Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music.

Gloomweaver collects some of Tolkien’s most harrowing tales, as well as stories of the torturous, terrifying worlds depicted in the work of FromSoftware, the Japanese video game development studio. Included therein are everything from haunted fortresses to arachnid-shaped demons whose sole purpose is to eat the world, not to mention the forceful enclosure of humans into glass jars.

FOG WALL is the passion project of two lifelong friends: Zak Brady and Alex Malmquist. The duo draw inspiration from all things dark fantasy and horror. Combining their love of crushing evil riffs and heavy bass tones, they strive to conjure a new menace in a familiar genre.
