CLOAK stream new track, "To Venomous Depths/Where No Light Shines"


CLOAK Atlanta, GA's metal quartet CLOAK have unveiled another track off their forthcoming new album. "To Venomous Depths/Where No Light Shines" is a bold and blackened take on dark, occult heavy metal.



Vocalist/guitarist Scott Taysom comments: "To Venomous Depths/Where No Light Shines opens the album with explosive energy. The band comments "This song was the last composition we finished during the writing process and immediately upon completion we entered the studio. It encompasses our journey together since the birth of this band. From the writing development to our spiritual evolution, it stands as our mission statement. Let this be the doorway from which the dark energies that birthed Cloak now beckon you to join us in the dance of death and rebirth!"

'To Venomous Depths' will be released worldwide on November 10. Pre-orders for the album are available now, across various CD and LP formats HERE!

Recorded at Aria Studios in Marietta, GA with producer Joey Jones (ROYAL THUNDER, SOUR VEIN), CLOAK captures the magic, mystique, and mystery of classic heavy metal with their long-awaited debut 'To Venomous Depths'. Drawing from metal's most impactful sub genre's, the quartet distill their collective influences into an enthralling full-album experience that honors the spirit of the early classics while standing firmly in the now. Captivating tracks like "Beyond the Veil", "Deep Red", "Forever Burned" and the tile track are riveted with somber harmonies, driving rhythms, and dramatic builds in momentum and suspense. CLOAK's bold and blackened metal teems with dark energy, and 'To Venomous Depths' is a testament to the genreā€™s primal power and magic.

Established in 2013, CLOAK initially locked themselves away, carefully preparing the band's debut material. A mere two years later, the band released their first demo (Demo 2015) and created waves in the American underground. Following the release of the demo, a two song self-titled EP was unleashed earlier this year, and saw the band receiving critical acclaim both locally at Creative Loafing (Atlanta), and across several international metal media outlets such as Metal Hammer, Decibel Magazine, No Clean Singing, and many more. In their short time as a band, CLOAK have already shared the stage with bands such as WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM, KYLESA, WINDHAND, INTER ARMA, TAAKE and more.
