Wretch Posts New Song "Rest In Peace"

Indianapolis based doom metal trio Wretch will release self-titled debut album, "Wretch," on August 26th via Bad Omen Records. Check out new song "Rest In Peace" below.

Featuring vocalist / guitarist Karl Simon, formerly of The Gates of Slumber, alongside drummer Chris Gordon and bassist Bryce Clarke, Wretch rises from the ashes of the musician's past project, which ended tragically upon the passing of Gates' bassist Jason McCash in 2014.

“Making this record has been the hardest thing I've ever done,” says Simon. “Jason and I met just out of school and instantly became best friends. All of my memories as an adult feature him. All of the songs on this record are about him, about me, about our life and his death. I'm not yet close to getting over the grief. In a lot of ways I've lost my mind. I hope that people are touched by the record. I am often on the verge of tears while playing. It's tough reliving those moments”

“The days of swords and sorcery are pretty much over for me” notes Karl. “No more giant spiders or ice worms. There are real horrors that occupy my mind these days.”
