Swedish melodic Death Metal outfit Serpent joins Hammerheart Records!

The occult melodic Death Metal band Serpent emerged from Stockholm’s underground metal scene in 2000. Across the ensuing decade, the band cultivated a small, devoted underground following through six critically acclaimed demo releases. Now Serpent proudly unveils their long-awaited debut full-length, “The Pit and the Pendulum”, through the legendary metal label Hammerheart Records. The album is a masterclass in occult melodic Death Metal. Built upon razor-sharp guitar work, haunting melodies and crushing melodic Death Metal intensity, the album takes the listener on a dark pilgrimage through the occult, the secret rites of clandestine sects, the illicit practices of necromancy, and onward into Edgar Allan Poe’s nightmarish vision of the Spanish Inquisition, rendered with crushing weight and architectural grandeur!

Serpent comments:
“We are very honoured and excited to join the Hammerheart family. With their track-record of releasing some of the darkest, most intense Death-, Doom-, and Black metal over the last three decades we can’t think of a better label to unleash “The Pit And The Pendulum”; an album that entwines occult mysticism with the bloodstained legacy of medieval Europe. The Serpent is rising…”
