Review[s] from ScenePointBlank.com

http://www.scenepointblank.com/reviews/serpentine-path/emanations/

"The band has crafted their songs in a more imaginative manner and enriched their music. And even though, this is a great release, I still think that they have it in them to top that one as well."

"All of this comes together to form an entirely dense doom record that makes most others sound amatuerish in comparisson. "

VENUES FOR NEXT YEAR:

We were satisfied with the venue situation this year, so we've decided to use the same set up again next year. What does this mean? We will use the Edison Lot (located at 545 N. High St) for our 2 main stages, Rams Head (located at 20 Market Pl) will be used each night and will host death/black metal bands, and Soundstage (located at 124 Market Pl) will be used each day/night for grind/hardcore/punk bands. On Thursday, only Rams Head will be used.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE EARLY BIRD TICKET SALE:

We are postponing this sale until Saturday, July 19th at 3 PM (EST). As you probably know, the early bird sale was set for today at 3 PM (EST). However, due to a very drawn out process to approve our ability to accept payments through the new ticketing system (which was just approved this morning), our web team has not had time to test the system. We apologize if you've planned your entire day around this sale, but we would prefer to allow time for the web team to make sure that this new system works, rather than have you deal with problems when you try to order."

The Sonic Sensory Reviews Emanations

http://thesonicsensory.com/2014/06/30/serpentine-path-emanations/


"Serpentine Path’s instrumental performance appears primitive to an unknowing listener, but a closer listen will reveal only more of the dismal, raw energy seeping its way into the recording of all seven songs. Therefore, if you’re into the darkest extreme metal available, this is definitely for you."

Review from thisisnotascene.com

"“Emanations”; a forty-four minute crawl through the nether regions of filthy, unwashed doom-death."

"Serpentine Path demonstrate those timeless staples of heavy metal – immense riffs and overflowing energy, bordering on uncontrolled rage."

Review From Absolute Zero Media

http://azm-magazine.blogspot.com/2014/06/9-new-reviews-6142014.html


"Can there be something such as primitive Doom/Death as if there is Serpentine Path are the masters of the genre."
"...the next master of a doom style here that is in love with the darker and more sludge side of the sound."

Review From Whiskey Soda

 http://www.whiskey-soda.de/review.php?id=34756

"... steel, concrete and brick slowly crush until there is no longer as a gigantic rubble pile in the middle of the middle of North American civilization. And then she will move on, the beast has become violence of sound from my headphones - at least in my imagination..."

Review from Ave Noctum

 http://www.avenoctum.com/2014/06/serpentine-path-emanations-relapse/

 "At times it almost genuinely feels like an old school death metal album, but drawn out and drenched in thick sludgy tones, which for me makes this one of the more unique offerings I have come across in the doom scene for a long time, and is certainly a breath of fresh air from the run of the mill 70′s vibe that practically every other band that call themselves doom..."

Review from metal.de

http://www.metal.de/death-metal/review/serpentine-path/57949-emanations/


"...listening to the disc, the mood of New York has in the meantime not just improved force: what sound because the pit is nasty, dark and devastating than ever."

Review from eminent silence blog

http://eminentsilence.blogspot.com/2014/05/serpentine-path-emanations-album-review.html


""Emanations" is the sound of a band making no excuses or apologies for being themselves.  They have written and released the album that they wanted to make and share with listeners."

Review from SPIN.COM

http://www.spin.com/reviews/serpentine-path-emanations/


"Emanations is more than just a solid effort from a bunch of doom vets; it's a gale-force crusher of an album, and just might be one of 2014's heaviest."

Review from Echoes And Dust

http://echoesanddust.com/2014/05/serpentine-path-emanations/


"'Claws', with it's siren-like wailing intro, is particularly putrid. The main riff builds and drops, lumbering along with all the dreadful terror of a horror movie monster."

Review from The Metal Forge

http://www.themetalforge.com/modules.php?name=Reviews&rop=showcontent&id=4235


"Emanations sees Serpentine Path slithering deeper into doom territory, with the band offering up a collection of seven tracks that easily match the heaviness of those on their previous album but also manage to increase the inherent oppression within to impressive levels in the process."

Review from Markus' Heavy Music Blog

http://mwiemetalblog.over-blog.com/2014/05/cd-review-serpentine-path-emanations.html


"Brutal and slow guitar riffs combined with a merciless working rhythm section are the base for each track. It's doom metal on a quite high level."

"The performance is very well done, which I would not expect any less coming from these musicians. They are all seasoned in the genre, and it shows."

Review from Mebzine

http://mebzine.wordpress.com/2014/05/22/review-serpentine-path-emanations-2014/


"... no one can deny the evident forces that urge SERPENTINE PATH onward, a group of very talented musicians crafting their vision and writing some impressive heavy songs!"

Review from Exlaim

http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/Metal/serpentine_path-emanations

" the sledgehammer hits of Darren Verni dominate alongside the throaty roars of Ryan Lipynsky, which are expertly mixed and audible above the melee."

German Review from Gestromt

"But the nihilistic atmosphere is back, Ryan Lipynskys vocals sound beautifully beastly and the production sounds beautiful junk and undergroundig (the drums, super!)."

"Move aside genre enthusiasts and elitists and give one of the best metal albums to surface so far in 2014 a good hard listen; the weight of ‘Emanations’ will simply crush all sub-par releases beneath it."

Review from heavyblogisheavy

http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com/2014/05/19/serpentine-path-emanations/

" Serpentine Path have a clear understanding of matching their music to the lyrical and thematic content, with ‘Claws’ scraping skin from bone with it’s reoccurring motifs and three chord riffs."

"Emanations" Review From "All About The Rock"

http://allabouttherock.co.uk/serpentine-path-emanations/

"Serpentine Path flirt with a fine line between doom, old school death metal, and a bit of stoner rock vibe which creates a very interesting and unique mix."

Review from Wonderbox Metal

 http://wonderboxmetal.wordpress.com/2014/05/11/serpentine-path-emanations-review/
"This is Doom-laden Sludge Metal with a healthy Old-School Death Metal influence that recalls the slowest of the Old-School masters at their dirgy best."

Review From The Sleeping Shaman

http://www.thesleepingshaman.com/reviews/album-reviews/s/serpentine-path-emanations-cd-lp-dd-2014/

"The Death Metal influence gives it a harder edge than the bong room jam of many a traditional Doom band and give the music more focus rather than drifting off into sprawling epics."

Review from hitthefloor.com

http://www.hitthefloor.com/music/rock-metal/serpentine-path-emanations-album-review/

"...we can confirm that Serpentine Path are one of the heaviest bands on the planet today."

Review from Son Of Flies webzine

http://christianmontagna.blogspot.it/2014/05/recensione-serpentine-path-emanations.html
"Each step is weighted properly, of cliffs that tumble on the skull without finding any obstacle along the fall trajectory. "
"A band on the rise that will make the happiness of many fans of this sounds insane, the only category of people to which I feel recommend this disk.

SERPENTINE PATH: Info On Second Relapse LP From NYC Morbid Metal Crew Released

Following a two-year release stretch since their bold self-titled debut LP was issued, Relapse Records this week unveils the release details on the highly-anticipated second LP from New York City-based morbid sludge metal executioners, SERPENTINE PATH.

Born from within the smoldering remains of Unearthly Trance in 2011, UT members, bassist Jay Newman, drummer Darren Verni and vocalist Ryan Lipynsky (The Howling Wind) recruited guitarist Tim Bagshaw (ex-Ramesses, ex-Electric Wizard) to complete the SERPENTINE PATH lineup. Their crushing, self-titled debut full-length was referred to as"thudding death-doom that will have genre enthusiasts rolling their stoned skulls in graveyard genuflection" by Revolver, and "a contender for doom album of the year" by Decibel.

Now officially augmented by new second guitarist Stephen Flam, the mastermind behind NYC doom/death legends, Winter, SERPENTINE PATH brings forth their most demoralizing and anguish-filled slow-motion chaos yet, with the newly-completed Emanations. As with their first album,Emanations was recorded by the band's Jay Newman, after which it was honed to devastating perfection at Audiosiege, the album capturing forty-five minutes of true sludge punishment with seven brand new songs from this true underground all-star team. Sure, the pedigree is undeniable, but regardless of their "members of" status, SERPENTINE PATH is one of the most scathing sludge acts on the planet. 
 
Emanations will see parole via Relapse May 27th, 2014 on CD, LP and digital formats. A new trailer featuring a sample of the audio, as well as the cover art by in-house Relapse artist Orion Landau and more has been released.
