SORCERER have announced a new album!

Titled Reign Of The Reaper, the upcoming album from the Swedish epic doom metal band is the follow-up to 2020’s Lamenting Of The Innocent, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Metal Blade Records.

For the new album, the band holed up in their home studios and wrote music all through 2022 and then once again headed to SolnaSound Recording in Stockholm, the studio owned, run and operated by Simon Johansson [WOLF, SOILWORK] with Mike Wead [KING DIAMOND] assisting, to record the drums. The band once again employed the services of Ronnie Björnström (engineering/mixing/mastering) and Jani Stefanovic (cover art for the singles & artwork booklet/packaging design).

Alongside the announcement of the new album, SORCERER have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Morning Star. Speaking about the new song, guitarist Kristian Niemann says, “I came up with the majestic opening guitar line while I was in the gym, I remember that distinctly. I grabbed my phone and sang the line into the voice recorder, as I always do when I get ideas. I didn‘t think much of it and promptly forgot all about it until it was time to write songs for the album. I had about 150 riffs and ideas that I went through and this one immediately grabbed my attention. I‘m super-happy with this track and it sounds exactly how I envisioned it when I first started working on it. The guys in the band KILLED it, everybody played and sang their asses off.”
