UNLEASH THE ARCHERS Unveil Details Of Upcoming Album!


sssd.jpg

It has now been 10 years of UNLEASH THE ARCHERS! These heavy metal heroes are celebrating this honor with an exhilarating feast on their upcoming album entitled Apex – out on June 2nd 2017 via Napalm Records!

Channeling the fiery brilliance of shooting stars, there is immense beauty on Apex, and it clutches you with a fervor that lingers well beyond the last cymbal decay.

 

The band states:
“We are extremely excited to release another full on concept album; it’s just so much fun to play out a story when you’re up on stage.  This one has a protagonist that we call ‘The Immortal’ being forced to serve the antagonist, a.k.a. ‘The Matriarch’ as she embarks down a very dark path to achieve immortality.  We had a great time writing this record, and I think the cohesiveness of the story has really shone through in the music as well.  It has a certain vibe throughout, from beginning to end, and we can’t wait to hear what our fans have to say about the direction this album has taken.  We don’t like to write the same record over and over again and we are very happy with the progression of our sound on Apex.  We think it will appeal to all of our fans old and new; it has the best parts of our past albums combined into one with just a little more spit and polish  ;)“

 

 

Ken Sarafin created the picturesque album artwork for Apex. This album takes nerves of steel; from its opener “Awakening” to the title track that closes the album, the listener will partake in a furious adventure, weaving through elements of the strongest metal genres of our time. You’ll be guided by the shimmering heat of sweeping lead guitars, face-melting solos, deafening growls, pummeling bass lines and of course the thrilling hooks of Brittney Slayes’ queen-size voice.

Check out full track listing below:
1    Awakening
2    Shadow Guide
3    The Matriarch
4    Cleanse The Bloodlines
5    The Coward’s Way
6    False Walls

8    Earth And Ashes

Through swift melodies and a flair for the dramatic, UNLEASH THE ARCHERS newest release compels you to chant with fists raised high in the air “All hail heavy metal!” Stay tuned for more exciting news to come!

Brooklyn hard rock legends LIFE OF AGONY have completed work on their new album and Napalm Records debut A Place Where There’s No More Pain, which will be released April 28th via Napalm Records. Today the first video offering for the album’s title track “A Place Where There’s No More Pain” has been unleashed.   The video was directed by Leigh Brooks of Firebelly Films and was shot predominately in Hamburg, Germany with a few shots from the London show on LOA’s recent European tour.  Video was premiered by  Popmatters.com and you can watch it here. HERE.

“We were looking to capture the raw energy of our live show with the new video for ‘A Place Where There’s No More Pain’, says bassist Alan Robert. “As a longtime LOA fan, Director Leigh Brooks instantly knew exactly what we were going for. He’s been a fan since the early nineties and we finally met at the Electric Ballroom gig in London last year. He shot that show and we immediately became friends. He’s a super talented guy with great vision and a deep passion for this band. He and his crew got pretty banged up shooting this one (laughs). They got right in the pit with their equipment – the poor guys! Leigh was one of the very first people outside of the band to hear the new music and he was completely psyched to be involved.”

warb2.jpg

The highly anticipated WARBRINGER album Woe to the Vanquished is set to be released on March 31st 2017 via Napalm Records.

 

After having previously released the first music video for the track “Silhouettes”, it’s time to fire another shot from their upcoming release!

 

Singer John Kevill states on the track premiere “Shellfire”:
“As we near the release of our fifth record “Woe to the Vanquished” we want to show you guys something that will blow some heads off. We wrote this song with the intention of it being the fastest Warbringer song to date, which it is. The music, composed by Carlos Cruz, is a ripping bombardment of riffs and rapid-fire fills with a crushing detonation of a middle section. The lyrics, inspired by the seemingly endless battles on the Western Front of World War One, are full of anger, bitterness, and sheer horror, as day after day after day, week after week, the guns never, ever stop. Play it loud and take cover!“

 

So take John’s words and play it loud and take cover with the audio premiere for “ShellfireHere!

 

Want to get a look behind the scenes of the recording process of Woe to the Vanquished? The band has released a special extended making-of the album video. Check it out here:
