Black vinyl with gatefold cover

As a result of a deep desire to express their own emotions and pure-self through music, Per Moller Jensen (The Haunted, Invocator, Konkhra) and Michael Skovbakke (Konkhra) decided to form Road To Jerusalem. Since It’s official formation in late Fall of 2016, Road To Jerusalem has worked their unique sound and appeal slowly and steady towards the consciousness of the masses. With a new and fresh approach to heavy music, RTJ entered the studio in the summer of 2017 to record their debut album. The opening track Andromedas Suffering has a very dark and sinister feel to it, with slow rock picking, and prophetic-like rock vocals from Josh Tyree, reminiscent of Candlebox and even Led Zeppelin/Whitesnake and a tinge of Janis Joplin. The overall feeling is very bluesy, 70s style, akin to bands like Graveyard or Kadavar. There is some heaviness to the song, think Black Crowes with lower tones. A very nice start to the album. Widowmaker sounds right out of Opeths Damnation backyard. A very haunting, slow-tempo hypnotizing track. A quite mesmerizing track, and even though the tempo is slower, the vocals show more emotion here than any previous track. The final track Jack O Diamonds has some nice sliding guitar and heavy effects in the guitars, a great closer to a very solid debut.
