Shokran Premieres Full New Album
Russian outfit Shokran will drop new album "Exodus" tomorrow - September 17th, 2016 - and today we're premiering all 10 tracks early for an advance preview.
Accompanied by tough riffs, harmonic melodies, a furious rhythm section, beautiful clean singing and powerful screams, "Exodus" will cause full immersion into a heavy metal version of antiquity. Band mastermind Dmitry Demyanenko comments:
"In my opinion, our new album turned out a lot more versatile, it sounds much more mature and serious, which, if you ask me, is a natural order of things in music – a musician mustn’t stagnate, he must constantly improve his skills, experiment, and discover new aspects of composing."
