Meshiaak has released a new track in front of the band’s upcoming new studio album. The song, “Tears That Burn The Son” can be heard below. Danny Camilleri shared, “”Tears is the deepest song on the on album for me personally, very close to home, my heart is in it.. ”
Meshiaak and Mascot Records / Mascot Label Group have announced the global release of a new studio album titled Mask Of All Misery on November 15. It has been three years since the Australian quartet’s debut album Alliance of Thieves dropped, which married dark undertones, heavy grooves and sophistication whilst retaining old-school metal values. Upon its release Metal Hammer Magazine applauded its “modern power/thrash metal attack,” Powerplay in the U.K. exclaimed that the album, “bludgeons and berates the senses with incredible precision and astounding musicianship,” while Classic Rock revelled in the “mix of brooding progressive metal and heavy rock.”
So, it’s no surprise then, that the band are back to continue the story and have a new member and renewed energy. Formed in Melbourne, by 4ARM’s Danny Camilleri and Teramaze’s Dean Wells with bassist Andrew Cameron, they have recruited drummer David Godfrey who replaces Jon Dette, following his departure due to logistical reasons with him being based in the US and the rest of the band in Australia.
Mask Of All Misery is an album that journey’s through a maze of toxic influences and the masks the exponents wear. “The album deals with a lot of personal reflection and issues as well as attacking or addressing much broader issues concerning perhaps the ignorance of society in regards to what’s going on around us all,” explains Camilleri.
