Enter Darkscorch at your peril and face cruel bludgeoning by occult rock weaponry from the 1970s
American doom underground. With Warfaring Strangers: Darkscorch Canticles, Numero charts the
impact of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath on US shores and heartlands as a pummeling previously
undescribed. Where Medusa's mysterious First Step Beyond LP emerged from its Chicago forge -
numbered in gold, sheathed in the black faux-velvet of a centaur's nutsack - tracks by Stone Axe,
Wrath, Hellstorm, Air, and many more mark the Numero Group's first dive into Stygian caverns of
crippling fear, pagan hostility, paranoia, power addiction - even necromancy. But Darkscorch Canticles
hail from no simple aural landscape: Numero 048 melds amateur D&D artwork with stout chunks
of stoner basement power, grafting physical music artifacts into an imagined world. Inside, peruse
perilous dungeon maps and castle schemata, full-color label scans, chiaroscuro band promo stills, and
17 tracks singed by the fire-lake of Eldara.
