Towards the end of 2016, Death Metal Pope invited you to their ‘Harvest’. That EP presented some superb doom grooves and showed the future to be wide open for the Long Island metal band. As part of the promotion for the EP, they’ve made a new video for ‘From The Dust Returned’, which you can watch in full below. The clip shows why the EP was one of the best from last year and should open the door for those who missed the release first time around.

DEATH METAL POPE – Harvest EP
Despite their chosen name, Death Metal Pope aren’t a death metal band. Some of their vocal choices are towards the extreme in places and there are occasions where the riffs step into the fast and intense sphere of extreme metal but, for the bulk of their material, these three Long Islanders love it slow and heavy. At least three quarter’s of 2016’s ‘Harvest’ is a stoner metal fan’s dream. They mightn’t score many points for originality, especially since the clean end of the vocal more than resembles Phil Anselmo in places and the music is very Down-centric, but, make no mistake, the results come close to stoner perfection.
