Denver sludge/doom metal trio In The Company Of Serpents will return to the road this November on a Midwestern/Northeastern US tour. The fifteen-date journey will commence on November 5th in Rapid City, South Dakota and close on November 21st in Lawrence, Kansas.

Comments guitarist/vocalist Grant Netzorg, “We’re very happy to finally be making our way out to the Northeast, and at the same time, kind of embarrassed that it has taken us this long! We have been active for fifteen years but have only played one show that was even in the same time zone, so we’re stoked to finally be making it out there.

I have many fond memories of the time I’ve personally spent in that part of the country, but we’ve never managed to properly tour out that way. We had an extensive run planned for 2020 in support of »Lux«, but we all know how everyone’s plans turned out that year!”

In The Company Of Serpents continues to tour in support of their most recent studio album, »A Crack In Everything«, released independently last year.

In The Company Of Serpents was forged in 2011 as a two-piece sludge/doom-focused project between guitarist/vocalist Grant Netzorg and drummer JJ Anselmi, author of the books Doomed To Fail and Heavy. Although Anselmi soon moved to California to pursue teaching and writing, the duo recorded the band’s debut together that year, releasing it in early 2012. The sound quickly evolved beyond the confines of sludge/doom, and they continue to paint from a broad palette of influences across the heavy music spectrum. Netzorg has continued on with the project, releasing five LPs, including the critically acclaimed »Lux« (2020), and »A Crack In Everything« (2025), both of which were the only DIY releases to earn accolades in Decibel Magazine’s annual top album rankings in their release years.

While previous work focused largely on occult and esoteric themes, »A Crack In Everything«, the band’s fifth full-length, delves deeply into themes of personal struggle, depression, and grappling with addiction. Threads of esotericism still weave their way throughout the record, however »A Crack In Everything« stands apart as a deeply personal effort.

Elaborates Netzorg, “»A Crack In Everything« takes its title from my favorite Leonard Cohen song, »Anthem«, from his masterpiece, The Future. The chorus includes the line, ‘There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.’ This suits the overall themes of the album perfectly. I wrote it during and after a losing battle with alcohol, and a lot of this deals with the despair and darkness I discovered in that time. I felt defeated, physically and mentally, and was drifting into ever-deepening depression. Despite this, I tried to remain creatively active as I was going through it. While most of the material from those lowest moments was insufferable garbage, we were able to glean some pearls of anguish from it and transmute them into songs we liked. This album often deals with horrors of crippling addiction, but there are glimpses of the way out through personal transformation. I recognized that killing myself slowly but surely made me a poor excuse for a father and husband and resolved to claw my way out of those shadows. There is a crack in everything – that’s how the light gets in.”

»A Crack In Everything« was recorded at World Famous Studios in Denver, Colorado and engineered by Pete deBoer. All songs were tracked to tape on a vintage Neve console “big and complex enough to oversee a lunar landing, or just lunatic riffs.”

The record features artwork by tattoo artist Mike Lawrence and is available on CD, vinyl, and digital formats.
