Cloak, Atlanta’s hottest black-metal band and the quartet responsible of one of the year’s highest quality rock records, Black Flame Eternal, has parted ways with Season of Mist, Cloak confirmed to The Bad Penny on Monday.
The midnight marauders told disclosed in a conversation Monday morning that their deal with Season of Mist recently ended but that they are already ready to ink a new deal. The furious — and, surprisingly, hoodless — quartet said it expects to announce its new label home by year’s end.
Season of Mist signed Cloak in October 2016, and the label released the fiery foursome’s debut, To Venomous Depths, the following year. Season of Mist also released 2019’s The Burning Dawn and, last May, the teeth-gnashing Black Flame Eternal.

Cloak continues to tour heavily behind the well-received record, having started the band’s current trek in late August.
Perhaps as a farewell gift, Season of Mist just released Cloak’s covering of “Black Dream” by Samhain on Halloween Day.
