Pitchfork Review
http://www.pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/17025-serpentine-path/
"... Serpentine Path, on the other hand, burrow deep into their chosen niche, nourishing themseves on the soil and growing to hulking size. Lipynsky, Bagshaw, Newman, and Verni make their cramped hovel feel like a universe unto itself."

Review from metalifestyle.com

"Layers upon layers of noise accompany the plodding, down tuned riffs. The howling, scratchy vocals are entirely indecipherable, and the percussion crashes about thunderously as evil, putrid atmosphere drips onto absolutely everything."
"...this is an album meant to be considered as a full sum of its parts. And that is a mighty weighty sum indeed."

"This is wretched death doom done by the book. The coarse melancholy and despondency breed to create a harrowing tale of eventual misanthropy...."

"With a pedigree that boasts all three members of New York’s cult doom band Unearthly Trance PLUS founding Electric Wizard and Ramesses bassist/guitarist Tim Bagshaw, Serpentine Path’s debut self-titled album should immediately top any doom-metal fan’s want-list. Sounding like way more than just a sum of its parts, Serpentine Path’s debut is an absolutely crushing album which both references and reinterprets its members’ previous bands but with a decidedly more punishing death-metal approach. Vicious vocals combine with downtuned guitars that rip out punishingly killer riffs to create an overall evil vibe that’s equal parts Paranoid and Severed Survival---Serpentine Path is way more than just a super group of underground icons, they are one of the best new death/doom outfits to emerge in many years."

SERPENTINE PATH: Sign To Relapse Records
http://www.relapse.com/label/serpentine-path-sign-to-relapse-records.html
"Relapse Records is extremely proud to announce the signing of NYC doom-dwellers SERPENTINE PATH (Tim Bagshaw - Guitars, Jay Newman - Bass, Darren Verni - Drums, Ryan Lipynsky - Vocals). A true pedigree of the doom underworld, SERPENTINE PATH consists of current and former members of ELECTRIC WIZARD, RAMESSES, & UNEARTHLY TRANCE.
The band initially released their debut 7” Erebus, earlier this year via Parasitic Records and recently wrapped up recording their self-titled full-length debut, set for a fall 2012 release via Relapse. The album was recorded and mixed by bassist Jay Newman at The Humanless Compound in NYC. Serpentine Path commented on the signing:“Serpentine Path is honored to announce that our debut album will be released by Relapse Records! The four of us aim for nothing but the most uncompromising and intense death/doom metal songs we can possibly create.”
Updated SERPENTINE PATH news / album information will be made available at the Relapse Records website and the SERPENTINE PATH Facebook page. "a mammoth testament to how doom can be used as a instrument of hate against the dumb, deaf and blind." - Cvlt Nation "Absolutely wipes the floor with just about any band trying to sound dark and heavy of late – a lesson in darkness and riffs" - The Sleeping Shaman"
