The Side Quest

Dumb mmmn what happens when two Dungeon Masters come together for a 'Side Quest'? You'll need to grab a D20 and a pencil and gear up for a darkness that will never leave your soul

Sleeping Villager This is a fun one, yet another Wise Blood split that profoundly understands what makes a high-quality split. Dungeon Crawl and Throne of Iron compliment each other well, yet feel distinct enough to render each respective half its own unique beast.

IAmRevEvil Dungeon Crawl is the main reason I got this...but Throne of Iron is killer. Favorite track: Dungeon Crawl - Where the Coin Falls.

about

Wise Blood Records presents a split album of Dungeons & Dragons inspired metal from Dungeon Crawl and Throne of Iron entitled "The Side Quest." These heavy metal allies combine forces with a thrilling campaign packed with monster-slaying riffs across 7 new tracks. The stunning cover art from David Paul Seymour will grace Vinyl and CD formats.

Dungeon Crawl hail from the San Francisco bay and turned heads with their "Roll For Your Life" record released last Halloween. They are fueled by the malevolent specters of west coast thrash's golden age with an extra snarling melodeath edge.

Throne of Iron ride from the flatlands of Indiana and put the RAD in Trad Metal. Their songs are rife with high adventure and riffs of steel. Fans of Manilla Road, Eternal Champion, and Cirith Ungol will declare obeisance to these heavy metal rogues.

"The Side Quest" begins December 16th on Vinyl and CD from Wise Blood Records.
----------------------
"The collection is chock full of fantastical power and metallic glory, each band delivering sounds built into the genre’s storied DNA and splashing it with their own blood and guts. This split collection is undeniably fun as fuck." - Meat Mead Metal

"You have battled well, and emerged with two great, but different, thrash metal bands in your provisions bag. Loved by the many who emerge themselves in the Games Workshop sub culture every weekend, ignored by the mass hordes. Their loss, The underground wins. Your quest is about to begin…" - The Razor's Edge

"This is a fun one, yet another Wise Blood split that profoundly understands what makes a high-quality split. Dungeon Crawl and Throne of Iron compliment each other well, yet feel distinct enough to render each respective half its own unique beast." - Sleeping Village Reviews

"Immediately pre-ordered this vinyl. This album should be a mural painted on a van. The only way this could get more epic is if Conan was jamming this while standing on top of a mountain holding a panther back with a chain leash in one hand, and a sword covered in the snake man's blood was being struck by lightning in his other hand." - @d0nniebr00ke7, Lord of the NWOOSTM comment thread

I've gotten myself into GR by first getting their last album, then decided to give this one a go too. Atoms divide, life decays, seems we are into nuclear explosions here, that is how GR feels, a powerful and fast blitz and stormy riffs and groovy hardcorish - thrashy blasts. Highly recommended for all thrash lovers out there. Toxic Holocaust does come in mind, true that, Wraith, Municipal Waste fans should love this ! sachavonkarl74
