Cerecloth - Strangling The Saint, Strangling The Prophet

Cerecloth - This Temple Is A Grave

Cerecloth - May Your Corpse Become The Instrument

Old School Death Metal from Sundsvall, Sweden.

The first line-up got together in early 2015 and consisted of Magnus Ödling (vocals/bass), Olof Strand (lead guitar), Stefan Kihlgren (rhythm guitar) and Emil Leijon (drums). They were members/ex-members from Setherial, Horde of Hel, My Own Grave, Deathbreed and Diabolicum. Three songs that Stefan had written some years earlier are what ended up as the first demo "This Temple is a Grave" in 2015. The demo was recorded in a total time of about 13 hours. In 2016 it was released on cassette by Bloodsoaked Records. Magnus soon left the band and everything was put on hold. In late 2017 Stefan met Erik Barthold (Left Hand Solution, The Kristet Utseende) and they talked about playing death metal together. The following year they rehearsed some songs together with Emil Leijon on drums and instead of starting a new band they decided to continue under the name Cerecloth. Due to other band obligations, pandemic restrictions and problems finding a decent rehearsal space, it wasn't until January 2021 they actually started rehearsals as a four-piece with Olof Strand on lead guitar, Erik on vocals and bass, Stefan on rhythm guitar and Emil on the drums. In summer 2021 Emil and Olof left the band to focus on other musical projects. Stefan and Erik decided to record a couple of the songs themselves. They entered the studio in September 2021 to record four tracks for the "Remnants of the Cross"  EP released in June 2022. Michel Lansink (The Kristet Utseende) joined them and played the guitar solos on three tracks.
