North Carolina’s bastions of melodic death metal AETHER REALM strike with the first single from their forthcoming blasphemous onslaught, Season of Bloodshed, out December 11 via Napalm Records. Entitled “The Blood Is Calling”, the explosive song arrives today alongside a striking animated music video, offering a first glimpse into the band’s next chapter.
From its first heartbeats, the album bares its teeth. The vampiric opening track “The Blood Is Calling” is layered with thunderous kick drums and cataclysmic string arrangements setting the stage for something truly ghastly. Propelled by blast beats from drummer Tyler Gresham, ornate guitar harmonies, and Martin Gonzalez’ enveloping orchestrations, this first single is a herald of a new era as the band transforms into something darker.
