Cirith Gorgor are one of the Netherlands’ oldest death metal bands, forming in 1993 and releasing music steadily since. Their seventh record, Sovereign, lands on April 19 via Hammerheart Records, but we’ve got an exclusive stream of it right now at Decibel Magazine.

Throughout the record, Cirith Gorgor maintain a sense of balance. From mid-tempo, riffy black metal to bursts of melody and stretches of straightforward, blast beat-driven black metal, Cirith keep things fresh without ever deviating from their core ideas. Check it out in full below; pre-orders are available via Bandcamp.
