PILGRIM: Doom Conjurors Premiere New Tune; Band To Trample SXSW + Spirit Caravan Tour Underway

Pilgrim

Rhode Island doom conjurors, PILGRIM, hurl forth “Void Worship,” the latest carol off the band’s forthcoming new long player, II: Void Worship.

Recorded at Moonlight Mile Recording by audio wizard Mike Moebius and centered on tales of swords and sorcery, death, doom and widespread obliteration, II: Void Worship finds PILGRIM exploring new paths in their earth-rumbling compositions, replacing the meditated, hypnosis-inducing dirges of their debut with more calculated and gritty powerhouse riffs. Literally quaking under the weight of their own heaviness, tracks shapeshift and build into frenzied climaxes and fade into sweet sonic depressions, molding perfectly crafted rock songs into twisted spires of sinister doom metal masterpieces.

Hear the amplifier devotion of “Void Worship,” now playing at Invisible Oranges at THIS LOCATION.

Additionally, you can still check out third hymn, “The Paladin,” streaming at: HERE.

Spirit Caravan / Pilgrim - US Tour 2014

Since the early 2012 unveiling of their debut sonic behemoth, Misery Wizard, fans and critics alike have patiently yet anxiously awaited the second chapter in the ongoing legacy of the mighty trio that is PILGRIM. Their first release shook the metal underground to its core, making a loud, in-your-face effort to bring doom metal back to its most minimalist and archaic roots, restoring it to its former glory. Their critical success, paired with their controversial interviews and emotionally draining live performances have lead PILGRIM to excellence, traversing the globe performing sold-out shows in multiple countries and playing festivals alongside some of the biggest names in their genre. Two years later, the fabled outfit has returned with a brand new record, the highly anticipated next installment of their aural adventure Pilgrim II: Void Worship.

II: Void Worship is scheduled for release on April 1, 2014 in North America, and on March 28/31 in Europe/UK via Metal Blade Records. Special preorder packages, including vinyl, are currently available at THIS LOCATION.
