United States · Hells Headbangers Records
Druid Lord was formed in Orlando, Florida the year 2010 by guitarist Pete Slate (Acheron, Equinox) and bassist/vocalist Tony Blakk (Acheron, Equinox, Diabolic) both veterans of the early 90’s FL Death Metal scene. The band’s primary intent was and still is writing crushing songs in the haunting Death/Doom vein giving the listener a feeling of constant dread and suffering. The first few years saw the band record their 1st full length album “Hymns for the Wicked” and ep’s such as “Baron Blood” and “Druid Death Cult” among others. The band released their 2nd full length album “Grotesque Offerings” in 2018 thus continuing Inspiration from 70’s old horror films from Lucio Fulci, Mario Bava, Dario Argento. In 2022 Druid Lord released their latest gloomy offering “Relics of the Dead” on Hells Headbangers with Elden Santos on drums and Chris Wicklein (Killing Addiction) on second guitar. “Relics..” takes the band back their death metal roots combining more aggressive, sinister riffing with heavy, eerie musical passages that the band is known for. Druid Lord is ready to return to European soil appearing at KTDF in 2023.
