We're big fans of doom/sludge metal here at Transcending Obscurity Records and following the well-received releases ofJupiterianandSubterraenon our label of late, we're thrilled to announce a brand new full length from German sludgelordsEremit. They're back with massive near half-hour long songs filled with epic tales and skull-crushing heaviness. You can listen to one of theshortest tracksHERE.

German sludge/doom overlordsEremitreturn after releasing a fantastic EP in last year's 'Desert of Ghouls' which acted as a bridge between the band's earth-shatteringly heavy debut full length and the follow-up album which is definitely a progression. The band doesn't shy away from writing epic songs averaging 20 minutes, with the longest one being almost half an hour long but that's where they excel - they're masters of meticulous songwriting and this genre provides them with the framework they need to narrate their mythical tales around which each album is designed. There's a pronounced blackened touch on this one which adds diversity to their deafeningly heavy sludge/doom sound and there are many twists and turns that one will realize upon immersing oneself into the world ofEremit. Everything has a meaning, a purpose. Not a single riff is out of place. It should be evident fromEremit's subsequent releases that the band is only going from strength to strength and evolving where it deems necessary, and the listener is always in for a fascinating, heart-pounding experience.
