As Southern Lord prepares to release Beyond The Wall Of Desolation, the debut LP by Worcester, Massachusetts crossover crew High Command, the band are sharing another cut from the album, the scorching “Merciless Steel.”

Recorded at Machines With Magnets in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, (Daughters, The Body, Lingua Ignota) and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Obituary, Integrity, Black Breath), the eight bludgeoning tracks on Beyond The Wall Of Desolation cleave the tender cranium of the listener asunder across their forty-three-minute running time.

High Command declares of “Merciless Steel”:

“Beneath the blackened skies of Secartha, Dikeptor leads the infernal march to battle into the Valley Of Death. As blood drips from torch-lined passages of the Primordial Tomb, the unholy Shadow God appears. Heed the call of valor! Behold the power of merciless steel! For what punishment does failure demand?”

Southern Lord will release Beyond The Wall Of Desolation on September 27th. Find preorders at the Southern Lord US Webstore, European webstore and Bandcamp.

Following their extensive tour with Spirit Adrift in recent weeks, watch for High Command to declare new waves of touring throughout the year in support of Beyond The Wall Of Desolation their debut full length and the heaviest work they have produced yet. In the band’s own words, “five friends coming together to create the sonic equivalent of a barbarian horde.”
