We've joined forces with Los Angeles, CA atmospheric funeral doom band QAALM to unleash their debut double LP titled “Resilience & Despair”. The first single, “Existence Asunder,” will be released as an edited version of the epic 20 minute album track with an accompanying music video.

The full album is set for an early 2022 release, with specific details regarding pre-order and limited edition vinyl versions coming in the next couple of months.

QAALM combine the crushing heaviness of sludge, the melancholic harmonies of funeral doom, with the atmosphere and intensity of black metal to create a gloomy, depressive, and unique interpretation of the doom metal genre.

Ancress’ debut LP “Victoria/Jeiunium” ("Conquest"/"Famine") is the first two parts of an "Apocalypse Quadrilogy", based upon, and inspired by, selected works from distinguished Polish surrealist-nightmare painter Zdzisław Beksiński.

Drawing influence from early 90s hardcore bands Deadguy and Starkweather, grind reminiscent of Nasum or early Pig Destroyer, and a healthy dose of cinematic noise, Ancress have created a unique aural assault.

For fans of: Burnt by the Sun, Old Man Gloom, and Graf Orlock.
