If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That’s essentially Unleashed, veteran Swedish death metal band, in a nutshell. For 30 years the band have been playing tried and true death metal, offerring some of hte finest, most consistent albums in any band’s career, and that looks to be staying the same as the band heads into the studio this month. Taking to Facebook this weekend, the band offered some news for fans to tell them what’s to come for the band in 2018:
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCHhave released the new song “When The Seasons Change,” marking one of the most infectious and melodic songs in their repertoire yet. “This song is about loyalty, the kind of loyalty that doesn’t crumble in the face of adversity, which we have faced many times throughout our career and in our lives,” explains guitarist ZOLTAN BATHORY.

I can’t fathom how difficult it must be to travel to a new continent to open up an entire tour. That’s the place Destrage find themselves them in currently, as they’re on the road with Protest the Hero and Good Tiger. I remember stumbling on the band as they put out the video for “Purania” in 2014 and being perplexed by the band, not able to discern what it was that I liked about them. Flash forward four years and I’m not sure I can tell you what about this band that’s so enjoyable, but words are better formed when you have a live show to couple the music with. Destrange an anomaly, and in 2018 when metal is rarely seeing anything unique, that’s a good thing.
To kick off their celebration of ten years as a band, Dark Operative is proud to present POWER TRIP’s Opening Fire: 2008-2014, a complete collection of the band’s earliest non-LP output. The album will be released digitally tomorrow, Friday, April 27th, as the band kicks off their headlining North American tour and is now streaming at Revolver Magazine.
