Stricken return to Horror Pain Gore Death Productions with the new album "From Dark Dimensions An Unspeakable Presence Awakens"! Hailing from the Seattle Washington area, Blackened Doom/Sludge masters Stricken are back with more darkness and despair, with ferocity and an experimental alchemy of styles. "From Dark Dimensions An Unspeakable Presence Awakens" explories the dark subconscious, self destruction, unspeakable horror, existential dread and nihilism. Stricken continue to push boundaries faster than before, dynamically shifting to intensely crushing and oppressive... and showing up with deep groove and experimental arrangements. For fans of Neurosis, Inter Arma, Yob, Conan, Celtic Frost, Triptykon, Craft and High on Fire
