Vestal Claret Posts Album Artwork And Tracklisting For Upcoming Release

U.S. occult heavy metallers Vestal Claret will release "The Cult of Vestal Claret" through Cruz del Sur Music on May 6th in North America. The album will be available on CD and vinyl LP formats; each with different track listings.

"The Cult of Vestal Claret" introduces to the masses a name that thus far has been quite popular only amongst the die-hard fans of the doom metal scene. In fact, Swanson is well renowned for his work with Hour Of 13 and Seamount.

The compact disc edition includes newly recorded versions of four previously-released tracks from the split with Ungod, and the long suite "Black Priest" (a different, re-recorded version from the one present on the split with Indian band Albatross).

The CD also contains two unreleased songs, a cover version of Black Sabbath's "Who Are You?" and an exclusive CD-only track, "Great Goat God." The vinyl LP includes two songs from the Ungod split, the two unreleased tracks, and an exclusive vinyl-only track titled "So Mote it Be."
