Three years after their first album "The Eternal Drift's
Canticles" that sits them firmly as a stalwart of the
european sludge / doom scene, Montpellier, France's
powerhouse VERDUN returns with "Astral Sabbath", marking
their debuts as a four-piece. The band headed to the
Cantal countryside during Spring 2019 to record and mix
these seven tracks with Cyrille Gachet (Fange, Year Of
No Light, Chaos Echoes).
With an approach of slow and heavy music played with a
punk energy and a psychedelic feel, the band shines at
combining sorrowful melodies with earth-shaking riffing.
More focused in writing memorable tracks rather than
relying on deafening volumes, this second full-length is
the band's most accomplished effort, mastered by Bruno
Varea (Blut Aus Nord, Doctor Livingstone...) and
featuring striking cover art by illustrator
Sinpiggyhead.
