International melodic death metal band ACT OF DENIAL have released their new album Negative digitally and on CD via Crusader Records (part of the Golden Robot Global Entertainment Group). Negative has received huge critical acclaim and will establish the band as a true metal powerhouse.
The band recently released a new single ‘Your Dark Desires‘ featuring a ripping guitar solo from virtuoso Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal (Guns ‘N Roses, Sons of Apollo). To celebrate the release of the album, Act of Denial have unleashed a lyric video for the track.
Negative is a project that features some of the biggest names in rock and metal, and offers powerful and melodic death metal that takes the listener back to the late 90s and early 2000s. Combining aggression with majestic and melancholic choruses, Negative is an album that creates tension, both musically and lyrically, and keeps the listener there from start to finish.
ACT OF DENIAL was founded by Voi Cox (Koziak, Victim) & guitarist Luger (Koziak, Benighted-Cro) in early 2020. They are joined by Björn Strid (Soilwork), bassist Steve Di Giorgio (Death, Testament), drummer Kerim “Krimh” Lechner (Septicflesh) and keyboardist John Lönnmyr (The Night Flight Orchestra).
The band, along with the 6 original musicians, also features other big names and special guests such as Bobby Koelble (Death), Peter Wichers (ex Soilwork), Matias “IA” Eklundh (Freak Kitchen) and Ron ”Bumblefoot” Thal (Guns N’ Roses, Sons of Apollo), who all contributed solos to the album.
The album was mixed at Studio Fredman by legendary producer Fredrik Nordström (At The Gates, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy).
