Following the recent release of the lyric video for their re-recorded hit ‘Immortal Bind’, from their re-recorded greatest hits album “Nucleus“, which will be released on March 29th via Nuclear Blast. Japan’s leading traditional heavy metal band ANTHEM have now released an epic new video for their first single ‘Black Empire’.
Mixing and mastering of “Nucleus” was done by established producer and engineer Jens Bogren, known for his work with a multitude of big name artists. Jens’ work is based on elaborate theories and an abundance of knowledge, which has helped guide the careers of many bands, ANTHEM’s case is no exception. This album which features Jens’ fat sound with rich low-end is more than up to par with the worldwide heavy metal standard.
A remarkable point worth noting about this release is that all of the songs except ‘Venom Strike’ were written after their reunion in 2001 – proving that ANTHEM have always has been a ‘current band’ that does not have to rely on their past.
This re-recorded greatest hits, which include a variety of their classics is a monumental effort, perfectly demonstrating the musical quality of ANTHEM and proving that they can be ranked as a top-notch band even in the international market.
