Occultation Releasing Silence In The Ancestral Houseout For North America Via 20 Buck Spin


occultation silence in the ancestral house

Occultation is releasing their second full length album Silence In The Ancestral Houseout via 20 Buck Spin in North America.

Under the light of the moon, Occultation creeps, crawls and crushes like a many-tentacled abomination using seductive power and hypnotic conjuring on the nine curses contained within. Captured from air in a far more powerful and convincing manner than ever before by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios, the band strikes a mood both sombre and grim, reflecting a contorted, wrecked expression in a cracked mirror through eminently listenable heavy metal sorcery.

Occultation Live:
Mar 22: Saint Vitus Bar – Brooklyn, NY (w/ Dispirit)
Mar 25-29: Treefort Music Festival – Boise, ID
