Eternity’s End has released “Ravenheart”, first single taken from the new album “Titanblood” to be released on November 6 by Scarlet Records.
“Ravenheart” is based on a character from the second book of David Gemmell’s “Rigante” series and tells the story of an anti-hero. Musically the song is dark, neoclassical and progressive, with an odd meter chorus and some interesting key changes and a long solo section with a strong Cacophony influence.
Fourth studio-album for the masterful German power metal band led by virtuoso guitarist Christian Muenzner (former Obscura, Paradox, Necrophagist); first record featuring the new singer and frontman Mike Livas (Silent Winter, Bloodorn); produced, mixed and mastered by Hannes Grossmann at Mordor Sound Studios; cover artwork by Dimitar Nikolov;
FFO: Symphony X, (early) Blind Guardian, (early) Helloween, Helstar, Crimson Glory;
“Titanblood” will be released in the following formats: – digipack CD / – vinyl LP: 300 marbled yellow / – digital
“Titanblood” tracklist: 1. The Gods Of Bal Sagoth 2. Sword In The Storm 3. Titanblood 4. Interstellar Transmission 5. In The Wake Of The Carrion King 6. Eternal Winter 7. Gates Of Eternity 8. The Abyss Watchers 9. Ravenheart 10. Rule The Night // Total running time – 51:08
“Titanblood” will captivate the listener through fast, aggressive and technical power metal songs with soaring lead vocals, big anthemic choruses, crazy solo duels and harmonies and riffs at times bordering on technical-thrash.
The new Eternity’s End album brings back some of the more progressive and symphonic elements found on the band’s first record and combining those with heavier influences.
While not being a proper concept album, every “Titanblood” song tells about dark fantasy stories inspired by writers like Robert E. Howard, Michael Moorcock and Edgar Allan Poe, and video games like “Dark Souls”.
