Shadow Kingdom Records sets October 31st as the international release date for Gargoyle‘s debut EP, Reborn in Blasphemy, on cassette tape. Self-released earlier this year in very limited quantities, Reborn in Blasphemy introduced these ghoulish Italian doom-lords to the international underground, but not widely enough, in Shadow Kingdom‘s opinion! Despite the EP’s title cribbed from an old Dismember song, Reborn in Blasphemy is definitely NOT death metal; rather, it is mildewed and catacombed Doom in a grand Italian tradition, sounding as old as time itself. Plus, rarely anywhere these days will you find a vocal delivery this obscure, this out-there. No trends, no progression, no modernity, no class: Gargoyle are doom purists, and it’s as simple as that. The band have been Reborn in Blasphemy with a bonus track amended to the original three-song release! Hear the first slice of purity at Shadow Kingdom‘s Bandcamp with the track “The Highlander.”
Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
1. The Lord Of The Tentaculars
2. The Highlander
3. Lady Dead
4. The Whisperer In The Darkness (cassette-only bonus track)
