Description

Legendary Brazilian Doom Metal act THE CROSS will be releasing its second full-length, five years after the bands debut. THE CROSS is recognised as the first doom metal band in Brazil, founded in Salvador – Bahia by Eduardo “Slayer” Mota in 1990 with the bands sound and style inspired by bands such as Black Sabbath, Candlemass, and Trouble. In the bands own words: “Our album describes the new age of The Cross. We feel like we’ve finally reached our perfect line-up, and this album shows it by itself. Act II is an album written in the middle of the pandemic, with every member working separately, and when we finally managed to be together, everything simply clicked. The album deals with a variety of mythological and historical themes, Lovecraft-inspired themes and also inner suffering. Act II: Walls of the Forgotten features a number of notable guests, all of whom vastly contributing to the overall result: Albert Bell (FORSAKEN, NOMAD SON), Leo Stivala (FORSAKEN), Achraf Loudiy (AETERNAM) and, last but certainly not least, Aaron Stainthorpe (MY DYING BRIDE). For fans of: My Dying Bride, Ahab, Paradise Lost, Saturnus Track listing: 1. Behind the Stone Gate 2. Walls of the Forgotten 3. Beyond the Eyes of Seth 4. Sonnenstein Castle 5. Umbral 6. Ouroboros
