By: Tori Hartshorn Feb. 20, 2019

Inter Arma's previously released song "Citadel" is available on YouTube and on all streaming services here. Additionally, Inter Arma have been announced for Decibel's Metal & Beer Fest Pre-Fest on April 12 and celebrate the release of Sulphur English with labelmates Integrity, Full of Hell & Devil Master. Inter Arma will also perform at Saint Vitus the following day celebrating the venue's 8th Anniversary & Northwest Terror Fest the weekend of May 30-June 1. Stay tuned for moreInter Arma live announcements in the near future.
Inter Arma's impulses tend toward the epic, but never bloat; they meld several styles - doom, sludge, and hard psych - without coming off like dilettantes. This newest full-length, Sulphur English, finds them mining deeper in the proggy organic doom fields that made both Paradise Gallows and Sky Burial so thrilling while expanding further the on the psych-folk strain that made those albums' peaks seem so lofty.
Few metal bands have ever made such effective use of acoustic instruments in truly heavy environments as Inter Arma do; the acoustic guitar that stitches "Stillness" together is as effective as any overdriven bass; a two-minute gloomy piano-and-feedback piece titled "Observances of the Path" rolls out the carpet for "The Atavist's Meridian," an album highlight that rides a gigantic, roomy drum sound into realms akin to a murkier Paradise Lost, a more aggressive Om, and a dreamier, more stoned Kylesa all playing together at once. Few bands make music as engrossing as Inter Arma; their lengthy, almost meditative songs rumble patiently forward until you're ready to get thrown off a bridge - and then they throw you, with great force.
