Recorded at DNA Studios & Swift Road Studios Mixed and Mastered by Arthur Rizk Cover Art by Michael Whelan www.michaelwhelan.com Love Metal | Hate Fascism This EP is dedicated to the memory of the mighty Mark "The Shark" Shelton. “Up the hammers and down the nails directly into my heart; Smoulder leans into the lilting, castle- storming epic metal of Manilla Road. Tons of classic doom charisma shot through with Sarah Ann’s commanding howl.” - NPR, Vikings Choice "Smoulder’s skullgoblet runneth over, for here they come with another three hefty tracks of laid-low-but-borne-at-shoulder-height, downright bluesy doom. Mark our words, the chorus of {"Warrior Witch of Hel"] will smash open your heart like the crusty geode it’s become." - Decibel "Epic, it’s nothing short of epic." - Battlehelm.com (UK), 5/5 "A wonderful piece of traditional metal!" - Musikreviews.de "Less than a year after a grandiose debut album, Smoulder confirms its place among the major groups of current epic metal." - Seekers Of Music "Energetic epic doom on top level!" - FFM-Rock.de "Premium class! Get this!" - Rock Hard "Excellent!" - Rock Hard (GR)
