The Cult of Vestal Claret: streaming and free download

VestalClaretCRUZ66

We are pleased to offer the first song off Vestal Claret’s upcoming release in streaming and free download!

The title track “The Cult of Vestal Claret” is one of the strongest compositions on the album. Enjoy its monolithic yet eclectic rhythmic session, the dark, precise and cutting riffs, and the charismatic, preaching voice of Phil Swanson, the Ceremonial Master of The Cult of The Vestal Claret!

The album has been recently described by UK’s  Doom Metal Heaven as “the jangling melancholy of Trouble, the epic stomp of Candlemass, the creative freedom of Sabbath, add a big handful of classic 1980′s metal and off they go, exploring places where no light shines.

We believe the description fits quite well with what you listened on this premier of “The Cult of Vestal Claret”.

Release-date: May 2nd Available in CD | LP | DIGITAL

Pre-orders soon on www.cruzdelsurmusic.com ! Pre-sale at Keep It True Festival, April 25/26!

VESTAL CLARET signs to CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC!

CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC is proud to announce another prestigious addition to its roster, VESTAL CLARET!

One of the most mysterious and intriguing bands to appear from the American underground in the last few years, VESTAL CLARET is the creature of Simon Tuozzoli and  Phil Swanson (of SEAMOUNT / HOUR OF 13 fame), and play a killer mixture of doom and  heavy metal riffage with a definite penchant for the morbid and sick atmospheres. Are you ready for the ritual to begin? You better go sharpen your krises!


The Cult of the Vestal Claret” is their second full length album after “Bloodbath” – released in 2011 – and will see the light in April 2014.   Available on compact disc /vinyl / digital formats, this new release will have different track lists.
