TRACKLIST : 1. Part I - 2. Part II - 3. Part III - 4. Doom over the world (Reverend Bizarre cover) - 5. Part IV - 6. Part V

Default SURTR World of doom available as digital - download World Of Doom


While Surtr will soon enter studio to record their second full-length, their debut album World Of Doom is finally available as digital on the main platforms (itunes, amazon, fnac...)
