After receiving critical acclaim, the band focused on writing 5 tracks which would become the first half of their follow up album “Vicissitude”. This proceeded with the release of their first single off that record “Abaddon”. Due to complications from the global pandemic, the later 5 tracks were recorded afterwards to which the album was completed and released in November of 2021 along side the release of their 2nd single off the album “Closing The Gates”.
2022 We had our Full USA Tour in January but due to an unfortunate event midway through in New Mexico, our van broke down and was left with a mechanic to be fixed while we all headed back home to New York. Unbeknownst to us the van was never returned to us by the mechanic and through an insurance claim it was found out the van was dismantled and sold for parts and scrap. We didn’t give up and still played throughout the year in the Tri-State Area via separate cars or a small rental van.
For 2023 we partnered with Forthright Booking and went on tour March / April to support Inferious & Alukah. It was an amazing tour and once back we started writing for our next LP. Due in the studio early June, stay tuned for more announcements soon!
