Los Angeles (CA) – Doom/thrash trio The Cimmerian set a crushing tone for the new year with release of »An Age Undreamed Of...«, the band’s first full-length album! This rogue set conjures images of high adventure and mayhem with an aggressive mix of sludgy-based rumblings, caustic fuzz-filled riffs, and sonorous war drumming that recalls High on Fire, among others.
Stream the album and purchase the CD from the band’s own Hyborian Rage Records at thecimmerian.bandcamp.
»An Age Undreamed Of...« is also available on Spotify.
The 12″ colored vinyl LP version is available from Black Voodoo Records.
Follow The Cimmerian, for it is Crom’s will. If you don’t – to hell with you!
The groundwork for The Cimmerian was laid in 2021 by guitarist David Gein and bassist Nicholas Rocha – two-thirds of crossover thrash group Septik Onslaught. The two were writing what would become the band’s first EP when a Craigslist ad brought drummer David Morales – armed with unyielding energy and a bag of Halloween candy – to the fold.
The Cimmerian delivers a wall of sound that draws inspiration from the likes of Motörhead, Black Sabbath, Venom, and Gates of Slumber. Lyrical themes informed by a deep understanding of world history, mythology, and historical literature weave throughout this chainmail tapestry.
The band released their debut EP, »Thrice Majestic«, in the summer of 2022. By early 2023, they returned to Robert Frank’s Minor Chord Studio to record the two-track cassette/digital release, »Sword & Sorcery Vol. I«.
The Cimmerian is:
Nicolas Rocha – Bass/Vocals
David Gein – Guitars
David Morales – Drums
“A remarkable debut full-length. The album captures the ferocity of thrash, the heaviness of doom, and the spirit of adventure with finesse, paying homage to its influences while carving out its own identity.” – Antihero Magazine
“If every album I review in 2025 is as good as this one, then the metal world is in for one hell of a year!” – The Razors Edge
“The Cimmerian deliver feral and furious force made up of sludge-soaked riffing, brawny percussion, and animalistic vocals.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life
“This album feels like a battle cry for fans of Mastodon and heavy, riff-driven metal. An impressive first offering.” – Mike on Metal
“These men from Los Angeles put a rough and dark heaviness in their music, which does justice to the Hyborian Age.” – Rock Portaal
