Doom death trio Bestialord features current and ex member(s) of Manilla Road and Sanctus Infernum. Their H.P. Lovecraft and Horror Movie inspired debut album “Law of the Burning” is out now jointly via Symbol of Domination Prod. (Russia) and Cimmerian Shade Recordings (USA).
Streamed by DreadCentral exclusively at this location, the full length can currently be streamed and purchased through Cimmerian Shade Recording’s Bandcamp or through Symbol of Domination’s Bandcamp.
The band comments, “““Law Of The Burning” as an album developed very organically. The music almost wrote itself to a great extent. There really wasn’t a premeditated direction, only that it felt right when we played it. Lyrically the works of H.P. Lovecraft played a major role as well as various horror films.”
Bestialord was formed in Wichita, Kansas by Mark Anderson (Manilla Road, Sanctus Infernum) and Chris Johnson (Sanctus Infernum) in October 2016. Rob Harris was soon added on bass and after several months of writing the band entered Red Cat Recording Studio in early 2017, ultimately emerging with their debut album “Law of the Burning”. Their style of Occult Horror Doom is inspired by a blend of influences including Black Sabbath, Celtic Frost, Candlemass, Morbid Angel, Cathedral, and Mercyful Fate just to name a few.
“Law of the Burning”, the debut album, offers nine menacing tracks shrouded in darkness and Lovecraftian atmosphere. Bluesy solos and thick dreadful riff structures authenticate its doom foundation, whereas the spirited vocal, incorporating the ghoulish energy of David Vincent and ancient caveman like tone of Lee Dorrian at the same time, acts as the harbinger of ghastly death metal atmosphere.
