Sorcerer Returns With A New Album “Reign of the Reaper” Out October 27th

Sorcerer line-up:

Peter Hallgren – guitars, backing vocals
Justin Biggs – bass, growls
Richard Evensand – drums (Since recording the album drummer Richard Evensand has left the band and been replaced by Stefan Norgren).

There’s no stopping Swedish Epic heavy metallers Sorcerer as the band will release its new album “Reign of the Reaper” a few days before Halloween on October 27th.

The fourth upcoming album features some of the darkest, heaviest and most aggressive material the band has ever recorded, and at the same time some of the most lyrical and beautiful.

For the opening track and first single ‘Morning Star‘, based on the fall of Lucifer, the band showcases their proficiency in fusing classic metal with other heavy elements with quite a few twists and turns along the way. With a bombastic rhythm section spear-headed by Evensand and Biggs, to the melodic and brilliantly executed guitar work of Niemann and Hallgren, culminating with the ferocious Engberg, whose voice soars, ‘Morning Star‘ takes the listener on a relentless journey through the kingdom of Pandemonium and hell itself.

Kristian 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”.
