With critics still praising The Crawling’s spectacular live performance at Bloodstock in August, the band are gearing up for a return to the live stage, with this being their first performance back in Fibbers in over two years. So, we urge you not to miss this long-overdue return for the sultans of Gloom.
Words That Burn have been grafting behind the scenes throughout the pandemic, primarily with their yet-to-be-titled new album.
Engineered and produced by Josh Schroeder [Lorna Shore, Ghost Bath, King 810] the new album sees the band taking things to a whole new level with an even bigger and heavier sound than that of their previous album ‘Pyres‘ [2019].
Check out the bands’ latest single, ‘Den of Lions‘ below:
