Unleash The Archers Debuts New Music Video
Canada’s most exciting metal band, Unleash The Archers, recently announced the upcoming release of their gamechanging sixth studio album, "Phantoma," out May 10, 2024 via Napalm Records. On this stunning conceptual release, listeners join story protagonist "Phantoma," a Phase 4 / Network Tier 0 unit - model A, on an inspiring yet harrowing journey as she traverses the new age of AI on a dystopian, near-future planet earth.
"Phantoma" follows the band's 2020 breakout album, "Abyss," which won the JUNO Award for Metal/Hard Music Album of the Year after debuting at #1 on the US Current Hard Music and Top New Artist charts, and was dubbed by Bandcamp as “a mandatory listen” upon release.
Today, following the release of wondrous first single, "Green & Glass," Unleash The Archers are back with an addictive, synth-infused second single, "Ghosts In The Mist." Blending modern guitar stylings with 80s arena rock vibes, the track boasts one of the album’s most sing-along worthy choruses and heaviest breakdowns. Check out the track today alongside a high-energy performance video!
Unleash The Archers says about "Ghosts In The Mist":
"If you saw us at any of the shows we played last year then you might recognize this track! We filmed the music video at Mad With Power Fest, ProgPower USA, and at our show in Montreal, Canada, and it is full of so many friends and familiar faces! We love including these particular festivals in the video because they have both been supporters of ours for a very long time, and we hope we will get to play them again and again as the years go on.
"The track is one of the more synth heavy songs on the album, but it's also got some rad death vocals from Grant that you can bang your head to, so we hope there will be a little something for everyone to enjoy here!" More...

Daath To Release First Album In 13 Years
Lauded progressive death metal outfit Daath has emerged from its thirteen-year hiatus with a new album, "The Deceivers," set for release May 3rd via Metal Blade Records.
"The Deceivers" is at once a devastating reminder and giant leap forward that showcases the technical wizardry and brutal intensity that the Atlanta, Georgia-bred band is capable of. Band founder/guitarist Eyal Levi has overseen an overhaul of the lineup, though importantly Daath still features force-of-nature vocalist Sean Zatorsky, who has fronted the band since 2007. Together they are now joined by Kerim "Krimh" Lechner on drums, Jesse Zuretti on orchestration and guitar, Rafael Trujillo on lead guitar, and David Marvuglio on bass.
"Now Daath is more orchestrated, more over the top. We have more melodies and they're beautiful,” Levi says." That‘s what "The Deceivers" is: Monstrously heavy but beautifully orchestrated, blessed with melodies that will haunt anybody fortunate enough to hear it. The nine tracks were produced by Levi, with Andrew Wade doing vocal production, John Douglass engineering, Jens Bogren mixing, and Tony Lindgren mastering. More...
