 A versatile and mercurial American metal quintet, Virginia's Inter Arma (Latin for "in times of war") continually reference genre styles that include Southern doom, psychedelic sludge, black metal, prog, and 1970s riff-centric heavy metal. The band was formed in 2006 with vocalist Mike Paparo, drummer T.J. Childers, guitarists Steven Russell and Trey Dalton, and bassist Joe Kerkes. The singer and guitarists are also members of Bastard Sapling. Combining unrelenting intensity and haunting beauty, the band issued their debut full-length album, Sundown, four years later. They continued to expand the scope of their sound after inking a deal with Relapse, which has released subsequent aural tomes of pain and beauty like Sky Burial (2013). A subsequent year-long tour took them to Europe with Windhand. They shared venue and festival stages with Kylesa, Baroness, and Mantar. A 45-minute, one-track single titled "The Cavern" was issued exclusively on vinyl in the fall of 2014. In addition to extended bouts of touring, Inter Arma re-entered the studio the following year with recording, mixing, and mastering engineer and multi-instrumentalist Mikey Allred. The internet teased "Transfiguration as a first single in April 2016, followed by "Paradise Gallows" in May and "Primordial Wound" in June. The nine-cut full-length Paradise Gallows was released in July during a national tour. 2019 saw the release of the band's fourth long player, Sulphur English, which unleashed an atmosphere-heavy amalgam of death, drone, and sludge.
