LA-based doom unit SIXES is proud to announce the impending
release of their aggressively heavy debut album, Methistopheles, due out March
2018 via Black Bow Records.
Recorded by Brent Wisdom at 13 O'Clock Studios in what was
one of the harshest winters to hit California in decades, Methistopheles was
mastered by Brad Boatright and contains over an hour of seriously depressing
and angry sludge. Doomed & Stoned says "... the approach to their core
focus, even in this day and age, is taboo, violent, and abrasive." With
riffs aplenty and a grim blend of black metal and stoner doom, SIXES is carving
out their own niche within an already vast subgenre. With cover artwork
designed by Ryan Bartlett, Methistopheles will see additional releases on
multiple formats via Poisoned Mind Records, Forbidden Place Records, and Medusa
Crush Recordings.
"The writing and recording process for this album was
an exorcism of sorts, we put it all out there. I don't think it took,"
says vocalist and guitarist Stephen Cummings. "It's heavy, it's dark, and
it's miserable."
SIXES is a blackened doom/sludge unit based out of Southern California, whose mantra is "Worship Amps.
Not Gods." Formed in early 2016, the band released its first single,
"A Cross To Burn," which was met with wide acclaim from various music
press. After releasing this single, SIXES dominated shows in SoCal, showcasing
their talents by performing sonic rituals in support of Conan, North, Young and
In The Way, Goya, In The Company of Serpents, Year of the Cobra, and many more.
