As Boston's ROZAMOV winds
down their US
tour in support of their debut LP, This Mortal Road, the band has released
their new video for the track "Serpent Cult" through a Cvlt Nation
premiere.

Nation RIGHT HERE.
For the past three weeks, directly in the wake of releasing
This Mortal Road through Battleground Records and Dullest Records at the
beginning of March, ROZAMOV has been delivering the LP's psychedelia-strewn
monolithic doom to audiences across the country, with the last show taking
place tonight in Canton, Ohio. The band checks in from the road about
the new video: "We knew that we wanted to do a video for a song off This
Mortal Road. We were also all pretty busy with life so we asked our bud Steve
from Sea if he had any cool ideas he wanted to shoot. And the rest is history.
We are really grateful to be surrounded by a collective of stellar artists in
our scene. We work with friends whenever given the opportunity and this video
for 'Serpent Cult' is no different. Hope you enjoy."
ROZAMOV's This Mortal Road is out now on vinyl through
Battleground Records, on CD and cassette through Dullest Records, and digitally
through the band. Digital orders can be placed HERE, and physical orders a live
at Battleground Records HERE and Dullest Records HERE.
Recorded and mixed by Jon Taft at New Alliance Audio, and
mastered by Nick Z at New Alliance East Mastering, the five monolithic passages
on This Mortal Road deliver over forty minutes of textured, melody-laced, doom
metal, infusing a wide array of both devastating and entrancing elements, the
album a must-hear for fans of Yob, Electric Wizard, Ufomammut, Pallbearer,
Graves At Sea, and similar acts.
Decibel Magazine's review includes, "Their debut
full-length represents a great leap forward in terms of depth and personality
for ROZAMOV - and a comparable leap downward in tempo... easily the darkest in
the band's six-plus years of existence." The Obelisk's praise of the album
is summed up in its closing remarks, "it took a while for the band to
realize This Mortal Road, but This Mortal Road seems to be all the more
realized for that, and as their debut, it strikes with deceptive efficiency and
poise. Is it possible for something so harsh to be progressive? One gets the
sense that as ROZAMOV continue forward, they're setting themselves up to pursue
an answer."
Two Guys Metal Reviews praises, "This Mortal Road is an
album that deals in ethereal magic and epic compositions. ROZAMOV is the sort
of band that goes far beyond what most of their peers might consider adequate
and instead pushes for transcendence. ROZAMOV have put their collective noses
to the grindstone to create what may be their most ambitious work to
date." Outlaws Of The Sun boasts, "ROZAMOV appear as a more confident
and world-weary unit with their debut album offering bleak sludge/stoner
atmospherics... This Mortal Road
is a superbly produced album and one that shows ROZAMOV offer something
different to their more famous and established peers. A truly captivating and
heavy as hell record."
