Bonding precise force and focussed aggression, Melbourne metal quartet The Ascended resurface with a maniacal urgency in releasing their first single and video ‘The Dark‘ from their upcoming album of the same name.
Drawing influences from groove, thrash and melodic metal sub-genres, The Ascended strives to perform with a high level of energy whilst throwing down an abundance of memorable riffs that resonate deep within the listener.
‘THE DARK’ seeks to bring back classic metalcore, a refinement and a step forward from The Ascended’s previous album. This album shows the band have found their sound and displays what they do best; bringing back mid-2000s style metalcore with crushing riffs and harsh vocals, coupled with breakdowns and lifting clean choruses. ‘The Dark’ highlights their most impressive work to date, displaying refined technical prowess, while still holding true to themselves and what they have been over the past 5 years
In celebration of the new album, THE DARK, being released on September 17th, The Ascended along with Melbourne thrash metallers Desecrator and Harlott, are launching a comprehensive east-to-west live assault of Australia! For more tour info and ticketing: www.theascendedband.com/tour
