Earth Diver

The Bay Area alchemists behind the progressive black/death/trad metal of Cormorant have completed work on 'Earth Diver', the follow-up to 2011's critically acclaimed 'Dwellings', and are finally ready to share a few more details about the LP. The new full-length is slated for an April 2014 release, and features mind-boggling cover art from accomplished artist Sam Ford of Wizard Rifle (whose creations can be seen gracing works by BLACK COBRA, WITCH MOUNTAIN, OCCULTATION, ATRIARCH). The Cormorant members collectively state, 'We're excited to reveal Sam Ford's awesome artwork for 'Earth Diver'... It has been several months in the making and worth every second! 'The cover draws upon many of the lyrical themes featured on the album, and it's part of a four-panel presentation that includes further custom artwork from Sam.' 'Earth Diver' track listing: 01.
