Shadow Kingdom Records has announced a November 19 worldwide
release date for Destiny of the Gods, the new album from Detroit's Doom
Metal Juggernaut COVEN (also known as COVEN 13). Get a taste of
the madness by streaming album cuts "Thor's Twins" and "Walpurgisnacht"
Shadow Kingdom Records' Tim McGrogan had this to say about the
upcoming monolith,
"There have been quite a few old 80's bands that have reformed and wrote
a new album that turned out badly. With that said, we feel for those bands
that have fallen flat on their faces because it's very hard to pick up after
such a long hiatus and create something that not only pays homage to
what your roots are, but also brings something new and exciting to the
table. That's the trick to creating a new album after being out of the scene
for a long time. Very few bands have come back from the grave to make
something on par or even better than what they've done in the past. It might
be hard for the fans to swallow this, but Coven is among the very few
bands over the past couple years that have created another masterpiece
that stands right up next to the classic Worship New Gods! At first we
weren't sure what they wrote because they have such unusual songwriting
skills, but as this sunk in, its greatness unveiled itself. There's really no
other band in the world that sounds like Coven. They have so many
strange influences that create so many obscure sounds that it couldn't be
copied even if another band tried."
