Eremit streaming two super long songs from new album Bearer of Many Names

Eremit is now treating listeners to two gigantic songs from the new album called Bearer of Many Names. The two towers are "Enshrined in Indissoluble Chains and Enlightened Darkness" (29:22) and "Secret Powers Entrenched in an Ancient Artefact" (18:36). Eremit is blackened sludge, and they might surprise audiences expecting pure doom or pure sludge when the German trio launches into the black metal-inspired segments, and when they also bring it all down to quiet, pleasant passages. It seems like a lot to understand, and it is, but Eremit allows plenty of space for things develop. One thing is for sure, this type of doom is not monotonous, and for many listeners it could be a welcomed change of pace to hear this type of music go at different moods and provide some much needed variety. -Metal Bulletin Zine

BIOGRAPHY: German sludge/doom overlords Eremit return after releasing a fantastic EP in last year's 'Desert of Ghouls' which acted as a bridge between the band's earth-shatteringly heavy debut full length and the follow-up album which is definitely a progression. The band doesn't shy away from writing epic songs averaging 20 minutes, with the longest one being almost half an hour long but that's where they excel - they're masters of meticulous songwriting and this genre provides them with the framework they need to narrate their mythical tales around which each album is designed. There's a pronounced blackened touch on this one which adds diversity to their deafeningly heavy sludge/doom sound and there are many twists and turns that one will realize upon immersing oneself into the world of Eremit. Everything has a meaning, a purpose. Not a single riff is out of place. It should be evident from Eremit's subsequent releases that the band is only going from strength to strength and evolving where it deems necessary, and the listener is always in for a fascinating, heart-pounding experience.
