Milwaukee’s RELIC Brings Death with “Iron Sacrament”

Milwaukee (WI) – New Blackened Death Metal entity, RELIC, has launched a stream of “Iron Sacrament,” the second single from their forthcoming debut EP, Crown of Flies!

The song is also streaming on Ampwall and Bandcamp.

Delivering Death Metal’s dissonant punishing riffage with Black Metal’s relentless chaotic speed. RELIC builds a new monument on the foundation of those that came before. Comprised of seasoned Milwaukee metal scene veterans with a history of making tight and focused music. Their debut EP, Crown Of Flies, is a blistering slab of Midwest 90s Blackend Death Metal worship. Delivered with malintent for its listeners. No frills, no scene drama, or gimmicks used by so many bands today. Pure underground Death Metal that is in your face and out for blood.

The EP’s first single, “Scavengers Daughter,” is available at youtu.be/JHYByItCdFE, as well as on Bandcamp and Ampwall.
