Pilgrim "II: Void Worship" coming April 1st - listen to "The Paladin" at http://metalblade.com/pilgrim/

Wizards and warriors, rejoice, for the chosen one has returned! Since the early 2012 unveiling of their debut sonic behemoth, Misery Wizard, fans and critics alike have patiently yet anxiously awaited the second chapter from Rhode Island doom bringers, PILGRIM. Welcome II: Void Worship.

Wielding eight new epic tracks laden with tales of swords and sorcery, death, doom and destruction, II: Void Worship was recorded at Moonlight Mile Recording by audio architect Mike Moebius and supplies an extraordinary quality of tone and heaviness. With II: Void Worship, PILGRIM takes a new approach to their songwriting, replacing meditated, repetitive hypnosis-inducing dirges with more calculated and demented power-house riffs. They build, shape, and climb into frenzied climaxes and fade into sweet sonic releases, molding perfectly crafted rock songs into twisting spires of evil doom metal masterpieces. It is obvious that PILGRIM has matured, both musically and as individuals, in their past two years of global conquest.

II: Void Worship track listing:
1. Intro
2. Master's Chamber
3. The Paladin
4. Arcane Sanctum
5. In The Process of Evil
6. Void of Worship
7. Dwarven March
8. Away From Here

Never heard of this band. This sounds pretty good.

I had only heard of the band but not their music until I listened to the clip posted. Which sounded pretty good. I may be going to the Charlotte stop of their tour with Spirit Caravan.

Kinda bummed they have seemingly abandoned the slow churning doom of the Misery Wizard album. I liked that they used that style. Gave it an old school feel. But I'll admit that sample track sounds pretty killer.

Well, it's just one song. I doubt they'll abandon the slow stuff.
