Stench of Sorcery is a Castle Metal project forged in epic atmosphere and storytelling, channeling tales of inner struggle, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of light beyond despair.

Through crushing riffs, haunting soundscapes, and evocative lyrics, the project opens the gates to the Execrated Lands, a cursed realm where ancient powers awaken, the balance of the realm begins to fracture, and the world trembles beneath the shadow of eternal night.

The debut EP “Unseen Battles” unveiled a world consumed by decay and hopelessness, exploring the deepest chambers of despair through oppressive atmospheres and cavernous growls.

Soon after, the EP “Spellcaster” emerged as a colder and more primal chapter, a transitional release that expanded the lore of the Execrated Lands while experimenting with harsher textures and new vocal expressions. 

Now the saga advances with the upcoming LP “The Palegold Menace.” Blending groove-driven death with melodic passages inspired by ancient and eastern tonalities, the album builds a dense and immersive atmosphere. Each composition unfolds as part of a larger arc, shifting between crushing weight and haunting melody, reflecting the descent of Alric and the rise of forces beyond mortal control. Both musically and conceptually, The Palegold Menace expands the band’s identity: darker, more cohesive, and more ambitious. It is not just a continuation, but an evolution, where storytelling and sound merge into a singular, oppressive vision. 

Enter the Execrated Lands.
