Bowing before an alter of lore, doom-laden riffs and malevolent presence, the Lafayette, Louisiana based Warlock Rock outfit seeks to keep Black Masses a tradition. Preserving the lineage forged by dynasties such as <a href="spotify:artist:5M52tdBnJaKSvOpJGz8mfZ" data-name="Black Sabbath">Black Sabbath</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5xUf6j4upBrXZPg6AI4MRK" data-name="Soundgarden">Soundgarden</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6aVjo0xHSiuW5hkasoYSR3" data-name="Melvins">Melvins</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0q32a3GRCjDxS4EIrC7YVY" data-name="The Sword">The Sword</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1hiIe6hmDchjc246cpoAOM" data-name="YOB">YOB</a>, the four-piece crusade in establishing themselves throughout the land of the riffian. Forged in late 2018, the band quickly gained momentum and was told simply to “lay waste to Texas”. Their single &#34;Paladin&#34;, released in early 2019, foreshadowed the EP release in the summer of 2019 yielding great reach and praise placing it in the Doom Charts for two months at #19 and #21. Having gained prestige and allies riddled throughout the states and overseas, the band has had the opportunity to cut their teeth alongside acts such as <a href="spotify:artist:3xtIpqzIOfQUxKce8BU4Ka" data-name="Crowbar">Crowbar</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4YumqLcvnU9DW31AkzaviJ" data-name="The Obsessed">The Obsessed</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4VSEqckiFLO2SOuSKAlXTv" data-name="Forming the Void">Forming the Void</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2an1GKmmTWuqY8N1GYBk1t" data-name="The Well">The Well</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1xvcKtKIb7rR89bKgazjSo" data-name="Howling Giant">Howling Giant</a>. With their debut LP on the rise, the band maintains the course of their sonic conquest.
