Stating that "they never disappoint" might be a but premature as it's only their 2nd album together, but i somehow can't see them recording anything not great ;)
Favorite track: The Broken Crown.

A perfect prog doom album, everything I want out of a band. Each track blends well, telling the story of the Faceless King.
Favorite track: Archdiocese Of Worms.
Byron Harrison
Such a fantastic album! Loved their first one and this seems like a fitting continuation from that journey. Fuzzy but melodic, with clean vocals...just the way I like it. Give it a listen and then buy it.
Favorite track: Shepherds On The Roadside.

Hail the spring
After winter’s cold decay
Crowned a king
Born to help us find the way
The Way
Help us find The Way
We’ll find The Way
“The gods demand subservience!
The gods call for sacrifice!”
We saw the vile corruption
The bodies scorched with fire
We offered absolution
The smoke obscured the sky
It’s on again
We faced annihilation
We chose to stand and fight
We set upon the fortress
We scaled the highest side
It’s on again
We’re on the way to find him…
Heard about a king
Dragged him from the throne
They took his face away
Left him by the road
Scavenger wake
Peckin’ at remains
Cross over
Spiritus sanguinis
Archdiocese of Worms
We’ve come to take you away
Come to take you home
Far away
Windswept dunes
Fall from grace
Mortal form
Pulled astray
Past the mind’s eye
Saw the warning
Hope’s eternal end
Pushing through the veil
Reach to find it
Colors of it all
Spirit fades away
Mystics high
Up upon the ridge
World on fire
Gods descend
Howling
Washed of sin
Come before the wolf
Hallucinate
Walk above it all
Dream awake
Darkness calls
Fallen
Once lost
Cut off from the world
Summoning complete
Dawning of the day
Shepherds on the roadside
Trouble on the way
In the wind
Enveloped by nebulous shadow of sin
Flame and avarice spat from a serpentine tongue
Now lost to the endless dunescape of bonedust and dark
Allow these whispers, these incantations
To usher this dying ember back from The Deep
Back to the world of men
Once trapped in isolation
He arose with the key
All around, the blackened sand
He cast his doubt to the sea
The reign
His reign
The reign
Returns
The Broken Crown
The desert floor
The rolling heat
The Broken Crown
The desert runes
Foretold the king
The Broken Crown
Comes around
Subjugates the false
The Broken Crown
Come around
Burden and the cost
The Broken Crown
The seven clans
Witness to the fall
The Broken Crown
A shattered land
The Faceless King, he calls
about
Captivating Californian foursome Vitskär Süden returns after their acclaimed 2020 self-titled debut with brand new full-length "The Faceless King," a fascinating 7-track collection of mystique-laden rock spells. Weaving progressive rock, heavy psychedelic and gothic folk into towering and intensely beautiful soundscapes enhanced by deep-toned, commanding vocals, Vitskär Süden explores the rock world's eerie fringes, meeting at the crossroads of Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Wovenhand, Lord Vicar and Jaye Jayle.

“Gorgeous and sinister. Shoots images into my brain of blacklight posters of secret rites in lost, desecrated valleys
performed while some bastard '70s metal band croons a sword & sorcery drug rock accompaniment naming, song-by-song, a terrible thing that should remain nameless.”
—Laird Barron, author of The Imago Sequence and Other Stories...more

Recently discovered this band. IF their back catalogue, is as great as this I'll be adding them to my collection.
To my ears they sound like someone has blended early black sabbath with led zepplin's bluesier albums. A much welcome trip to the 70s hard blues heavy metal. welshwizzardd
Sustained by seismic psych riffs, proggy shifts, and vivid sci-fi storytelling, these Milwaukee cosmonauts command respect. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2023
