Kraków (PL) – Polish Death Metal duo, Dormant Ordeal, are set to release Tooth and Nail, the band’s first for Willowtip and fourth overall, on April 18! The album will be available on CD, vinyl, cassette, and digital formats, and follows widely praised third album, The Grand Scheme of Things.

“The first single, “Halo of Bones,” was the first song written for the album”. Guitarist Maciej Nieścioruk notes that “it was composed shortly after the release of 2021’s The Grand Scheme of Things” and “features the outstanding work of Chason Westmoreland who played drums on the whole album.” Nieścioruk goes on to say that “Halo of Bones” “is straightforward and to the point. Enjoy the first taste of Tooth and Nail.”

“Halo of Bones” is available at youtu.be/E0DNX0wnpCo. The song is also available on platforms including BandcampSpotify, and Apple Music.

“We worked hard to make this fourth album happen,” says guitarist Maciej Nieścioruk. “JNS Studio once again did a great job tuning in to our suggestions, while having the support of Willowtip gave us freedom to focus on creativity without being distracted. Stick around and have a listen once it’s released, might be just what you’re looking for.”

Dormant Ordeal was formed in 2008. Their debut album It Rains, It Pours (2013), showcased the aggressive and energetic sound, while We Had It Coming (2016) refined their songwriting with thought-out structures and darker textures. Released in 2021, The Grand Scheme of Things was critically acclaimed for blending brutal precision with blackened influences and a thought-provoking lyrical approach. Over the years, known for their intense and atmospheric approach to the genre, the band has established itself as an impactful entity in the modern death metal scene.

Kraków (PL) – Willowtip Records has signed Polish Death Metal duo DORMANT ORDEAL! The band is preparing to enter the studio soon to record what will be their first album for the label and the fourth overall, following 2021’s The Grand Scheme of Things (Selfmadegod Records).

The band released the following statement concerning the signing:

“We’re honored to announce the signing of a worldwide deal with Willowtip Records. Many great releases that we personally hold in high regard have been featured on this label and we are thrilled to be joining the roster. We truly appreciate the trust Willowtip have placed in us – can’t wait to start this chapter!

We’re planning on going into the studio in the upcoming weeks to record our fourth album. We may be the worst reviewers of our own music, but one thing we can say for sure – it is more ‘us’ than ever. The successor to 2021’s ‘The Grand Scheme of Things’ is planned to be released later this year.”
