Kraków (PL) – Polish Death Metal duo, Dormant Ordeal, are set to release Tooth and Nail, the band’s first for Willowtip and fourth overall, on April 18! The album will be available on CD, vinyl, cassette, and digital formats, and follows widely praised third album, The Grand Scheme of Things.

The first single, “Halo of Bones,” was the first song written for the album. Guitarist Maciej Nieścioruk notes that “it was composed shortly after the release of 2021’s The Grand Scheme of Things” and “features the outstanding work of Chason Westmoreland who played drums on the whole album.” Nieścioruk goes on to say that “Halo of Bones” ” is straightforward and to the point. Enjoy the first taste of Tooth and Nail.“

“Halo of Bones” is available at youtu.be/E0DNX0wnpCo.The song is also available on platforms including Bandcamp, Spotify, and Apple Music.

“We worked hard to make this fourth album happen,” says guitarist Maciej Nieścioruk. “JNS Studio once again did a great job tuning in to our suggestions, while having the support of Willowtip gave us freedom to focus on creativity without being distracted. Stick around and have a listen once it’s released, might be just what you’re looking for.”

Dormant Ordeal was formed in 2008. Their debut album It Rains, It Pours (2013), showcased the aggressive and energetic sound, while We Had It Coming (2016) refined their songwriting with thought-out structures and darker textures. Released in 2021, The Grand Scheme of Things was critically acclaimed for blending brutal precision with blackened influences and a thought-provoking lyrical approach. Over the years, known for their intense and atmospheric approach to the genre, the band has established itself as a impactful entity in the modern death metal scene. 

“This band should be near the top of the death metal scene.”
