Rhode Island doom bringers PILGRIM have announced their second album II: Void Worship.

A press release states: “Wielding eight new epic tracks laden with tales of swords and sorcery, death, doom and destruction, II: Void Worship was recorded at Moonlight Mile Recording by audio architect Mike Moebius and supplies an extraordinary quality of tone and heaviness. With II: Void Worship, Pilgrim takes a new approach to their songwriting, replacing meditated, repetitive hypnosis-inducing dirges with more calculated and demented power-house riffs. They build, shape, and climb into frenzied climaxes and fade into sweet sonic releases, molding perfectly crafted rock songs into twisting spires of evil doom metal masterpieces. It is obvious that Pilgrim has matured, both musically and as individuals, in their past two years of global conquest.”

II: Void Worship tracklisting:

‘Intro’

‘Master’s Chamber’

‘The Paladin’

‘Arcane Sanctum’

‘In The Process Of Evil’

‘Void Of Worship’

‘Dwarven March’

‘Away From Here’

‘The Paladin’:
