Hauk Readies New EP, "To Hear the Trumpets Call"

The heathen metal band HAUK (USA) will release their new EP "To Hear the Trumpets Call" on September 19, 2008.

The EP contains 2 brand new songs, a re-recorded metal version of the classic "Lamentation," and a remix of "Raven Wings."

Front man Hauk commented: "This EP for me is really a perfect combination of music and Heathen spirituality. Every song on this album has Heathen Anthem written all over it- they are unrestrained songs about the impending victory of the Gods and their people at Ragnarok. Nothing was held back recording this one- we didn't think a minute about reviews or record labels or anything while we were recording. We just went into the studio and made the music we wanted to make, channeled the Gods and let the full fury of the North Wind rip through our songs. The arrangements were stripped down, sticking with just the live band- no extra fiddles or flutes, just pure guitars, drums, and keyboards. In the end, what we've accomplished is the soundtrack to Ragnarok, a call to arms for all Heathens- No Mercy For the Slain, not now, not ever."

Here is the tracklisting for "To Hear The Trumpets Call":

1. To Hear the Trumpets Call
2. Love Song 4 (Burn Rome)
3. Lamentation
4. Raven Wings (Thrashing Ravens Remix)

The title track can be listened to for streaming at the band's MySpace page.
