Pre-order vinyl:
Swedish / American death metal trio Eye of Purgatory return with "Darkborne" - a powerful new chapter forged by Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, Ribspreader), Taylor Nordberg (Deicide, Inhuman Condition ...) and Jeramie Kling (Inhuman Condition, Overkill ...). The album captures the spirit of classic Swedish death metal: dark, atmospheric and full of organic weight - yet with a melodic and emotional depth that makes every track feel alive.
The cover artwork,created by Dan Goldsworthy (Accept, Alestorm, Cradle of Filth), perfectly reflects the album’s mix of melancholy and menace. Darkborne isn’t about nostalgia; it’s a continuation of a sound that values emotion and atmosphere as much as sheer heaviness.
