Last year saw an unforeseeable split in the world’s most iconic black metal band: Abbath Doom Occulta had left Immortal and, after much confusion, left it to Demonaz and Horgh. Abbath went on to perform in a new band under the same name, and released the self-titled album earlier this year, but the Immortal camp has been quiet. Until now, at least.  

Legendary Cleveland quintet RINGWORM have just announced their 8th full-length album Snake Church, a 12-track, 30+ minute testament of vicious aggression. After having converted metalheads and hardcore fans alike with their intense, no-holds-barred live shows and consistently punishing albums over the course of the last 25+ years, RINGWORM once again prove that they are in a league of their own when it comes to face-breaking sonic fury.
