AMARANTHE release third single and music video for “Archangel”, PALLBEARER Debut ‘The Quicksand Of Existing’ Video, HEATHEN unleash new album and video for “Sun In My Hand”.
All dreams are shattered, all hopes are lost – but out of the fuming ashes of apocalypse, there’s a new star rising high into the blackened sky: Today, AMARANTHE release “Archangel”, the third single from their upcoming album “Manifest”, to be out October 2nd, via Nuclear Blast.
A merciless but on point modern metal extravaganza coming with brutal riffs, a tempting chorus and hellish vibes – long story short: An infernal pleasure that makes you want to trade your soul for the fallen angel.
AMARANTHE commented: “Fire and brimstone! Savour the sweet scent of sulphur as AMARANTHE delves deep into Miltonian lore with ‘Archangel’! An ancient tale of the fall of the angel Lucifer Morningstar was interpreted as a Greek tragedy in John Milton’s seminal ‘Paradise Lost’, and it is from this perspective we tell a brief yet momentous story of greed, betrayal and overblown pride – an all too familiar and contemporary theme. AMARANTHE’s first collaboration with Poland’s visual grandmasters Grupa13 took us from abandoned and ghastly factory halls in Wrocław to the derelict ruins of Świny Castle among the Polish mountains. Light up your incense, fill your goblet and delight in a darker shade of AMARANTHE!”
PALLBEARER, have released ‘The Quicksand of Existing’, a third single from the band’s forthcoming album »Forgotten Days« (Oct. 23 via Nuclear Blast). The song arrives with another Ben Meredith directed video.
“As we strive to be, the forces of entropy perpetually pull us down into a state of being unmade,” offers bass player/songwriter Joseph D. Rowland of the track which reflects the narrative themes behind the highly-anticipated release, self-described by the band as a reflection on family and loss. “The body degrades; the mind and memories fray into unwoven threads, no longer connected to the rich fabric of the self. Choices made upon our separate and conjoined paths may find us engulfed in a mire of our unmaking. I wanted this song to face this reality with a grim determination.”
Today, Bay Area thrash legends HEATHEN unleash their fourth studio album, Empire of the Blind, unto the world via Nuclear Blast Records. In celebration of the release, the band offers fans the music video for “Sun In My Hand”

HEATHEN comments, “Thanks to all of the HEATHEN fans and headbangers everywhere for your legendary patience over the last 10 years. The moment has finally arrived, and we are very proud to share our new creation with you via the best metal label on the planet, Nuclear Blast Records! Without the support of the fans, heavy metal would have no voice. So lift your fucking glasses high, grab your copy of ‘Empire Of The Blind’, and in the immortal words of Rich Burch, ‘bang that head that doesn’t bang!’ Cheers!”
