Gallowglass Scourge Unleashes Crushing Sophomore Album "Carrion" Out Now

Minneapolis/St. Paul melodic death metal veterans deliver a darker, sharper, and more mature evolution of their sound.

The wait is over. Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota melodic death metal outfit Gallowglass Scourge has officially released their highly anticipated sophomore album, "Carrion," available now as an independent release.

Forged by longtime metal veterans Matt Hamilton and Tom Croxton , best known for their work in the thrash/progressive metal band Domidium, Gallowglass Scourge serves as an outlet for their passion for melodic death metal. On "Carrion," the duo expands upon the foundation established with their debut album "Silence," delivering a collection of songs that balances crushing heaviness with haunting melody, emotional depth, and refined songwriting.

Fans of Amorphis , Insomnium , and Paradise Lost will find plenty to sink their teeth into as "Carrion" blends melancholic atmospheres, memorable guitar melodies, thunderous rhythms, and powerful vocals into a dynamic listening experience that captures both aggression and introspection.

Speaking about the new release, the band states:

"The sophomore album of the band showcasing their further development in songwriting in this genre since their first album 'Silence.' "

Produced by Gallowglass Scourge , the album features drums recorded and mixing handled by Zach Letourneau at 14:59 Studios , with mastering by Adam Tucker of Signaturetone , resulting in a polished yet organic production that complements the album's emotional weight and relentless energy.

With "Carrion," Gallowglass Scourge demonstrates that experience and passion remain a powerful combination, delivering a melodic death metal album that honors the genre's traditions while continuing to evolve their own distinctive voice.

"Carrion" is available now on all major streaming platforms and Bandcamp.
