Album Notes & Community Reviews

The fifth album from the Canadian duo, 'Wretched Heart' is another masterful journey into vintage heavy rock. The record continues to perfect their signature sound, a dark and atmospheric blend of 70s progressive hard rock and early heavy metal, defined by melodic twin-guitar harmonies and clean, soaring vocals. It's a beautifully crafted and nostalgic work for fans of classic, occult-tinged rock.
