Description
Jawbreaker Records are proud to present the cassette version of the new mini-album from Sandstorm: Dungeon of Death!
Imagine three black-clad warriors galloping across the battlefield at full speed towards you, with weapons held high and the clash of thunder overhead… but instead of a swift, merciless death, what assaults you is the charming heavy metal of SANDSTORM!
Sandstorm was formed in 2017 by Swedish brothers Stevie Whiteless and Reptile Anderson, and joined by Canadian drummer PJ “The Butcher” LaGriffe. Inspired by underground Swedish metal, the NWOBHM, shining studs and black leather, Sandstorm are the perfect embodiment of what real HEAVY METAL is all about.
Ever since the twin releases of Time to Strike (2019) and Desert Warrior (2021), both released to international acclaim by Dying Victims Productions, true metallers have been craving a new Sandstorm record – and it seems that those prayers are about to be answered with yet another mini-album, Dungeon of Death!
In the words of Jawbreaker boss G.G. Sundin: “Sandstorm is one of my absolute favourite bands in the contemporary underground scene. So when the chance came to once again team up with Dying Victims and take care of the cassette edition of Dungeon of Death, there could be no hesitation.”
The format is truly suiting to the power-trio, as their punchiness is amplified further, giving an immediacy to their largely patient march & gallop. Compared to its predecessors, Dungeon of Death sees Sandstorm bringing out the rock ‘n’ roll roots of ancient heavy metal even more than before. And when paired with the cleaner production style – warm, vintage, and very nearly time-traveled from 1982 – a certain mystical atmosphere arises from that dungeon…and with it, medieval metal might! Sandstorm bring you back to life – tonight!
