STORMRULER to release dark fantasy inspired debut, “Under The Burning Eclipse”

10-03-2021

STORMRULER, the St. Louis-based two-man black metal project – featuring guitarist/vocalist Jason Asberry and drummer Jesse Schobel – has signed a worldwide record deal with Napalm Records and will release their debut full-length, Under The Burning Eclipse, on May 28, 2021.  In celebration, they now released a video for the song ‘Reign Of The Winged Duke’.

Watch ‘Reign Of The Winged Duke’below. 

STORMRULER adds about the album:
“We sought to take all of the elements we love about black and death metal and make the album we always wanted to hear.  Early on, we formulated the idea to compose interludes between the songs to segue the moods, yet maintain a cohesive nature.  As long-time fans of dark fantasy and historical warfare, it seemed like the proper path lyrically.”

Sebastian Münch, A&R, Napalm Records adds:
STORMRULER is living proof that excellent black metal is not an entirely Scandinavian business! Under The Burning Eclipse is probably the best black metal album of the last 10 years!”
 
STORMRULER also recently signed with Hard Impact Management, led by Maurizio Iacono (Ex Deo, Kataklysm)! Maurizio says:
“When Sebastian at Napalm called me up to check out STORMRULER, I immediately saw the fire and did not hesitate to make them part of the Hard Impact family. Scandinavia was the birthplace of black metal, but I think America is now crafting some of the most forward thinking black metal bands in the world. STORMRULER has the work ethic and the songwriting magic to compete amongst the best in the genre, and I look forward to helping develop them to their full potential.”
