We’re grateful to Frozen Moon Promotions for giving Lore a spotlight in their Upcoming Metal segment.
They awarded the album a 5 / 5 score and had this to say:
“A heavy, pounding and truly atmospheric record that captures the darkest D&D campaign the band could muster.” –Frozen Moon Promotions
Hell yeah! We just got a write-up in the latest issue of Scream Magazine:
“This Pennsylvania-based trio forges their own path in dungeon metal – primitive, raw, and ugly in the best possible way. Like a lost demo from the early ’90s, Lore captures that DIY spirit with unapologetic grit and originality. Cultic embrace the naivety and turn it into a sound that’s uniquely theirs.” – Scream Magazine
A big thanks to Blasted by Britton for taking the time to dive into Lore and drop a killer review of the album.
“The music is heavy, sure, but also strangely hypnotic and catchy as hell.” – Britton Dicks
We’re grateful for the support and for the stellar write-up! Check out the full review and follow Blasted by Britton for more underground metal coverage: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CxBJ6SFxu/
“Nomad” just got a shout from Destroy//Exist, a site that consistently digs into the underground to spotlight raw and uncompromising music.

They also threw the track onto two killer Spotify playlists:
Hails to Metal Mundus for covering our video for “Nomad” and helping spread the word about Lore.
They gave the signal boost from Poland, where the riffs are cold, the metal is true, and the underground runs deep. We’re always stoked to see dungeon metal crossing borders.
Shout-out to The Old Coffin Spirit for helping summon the news of Lore from the shadows.
They shared our upcoming album announcement with their readers in Portugal, and we’re honored to be featured among their carefully chosen curation of heavy, strange, and extreme sounds.

Thanks to Neformat for helping announce Lore to the heavy underground in Russia.
They’ve been covering extreme and alternative music since the early 2000s, so we’re stoked to see Lore land on their radar.
Thanks to Kronos Mortus News for covering our video for “Nomad” and spreading the word about our upcoming album Lore.
Always appreciate seeing the banner of dungeon metal raised beyond our borders – this time from Hungary. Heavy riffs, dark visions, and ritual drums continue to echo far and wide.
Our track “Nomad” was recently added to the Extreme Metal Radar playlist on Spotify: Shout-out to whoever’s keeping the dungeon lit over there!
It’s a killer list packed with heavy underground sounds, and we’re stoked to be included.
