MASTER’S CALL are a force of heavy metal blackened by death from The Black Country, UK – the birthplace of Heavy Metal itself!
Today, MASTER’S CALL reveal their first single along with a video for the track “The Serpent’s Rise“.
“The Serpent’s Rise” depicts a conjuring of dark power in the form of a snake with a chaotic choking influence cast upon the world.
This vibe of this track fits our overall mantra pretty well, as you’ve got the black metal melodies, thrashy blackened-death riffs, some classic metal era inspired set-pieces and a big heavy chorus”, comments the band.

When it comes to the lyrics on “A Journey For The Damned”, they all lead into a similar direction. “They mainly deal with the dark and turbulent path through life: the atrocities, struggles and the victories that will be encountered along the way, as well as the spirituality and beliefs that influence us as we journey toward the inevitability of death”, comments John. For the final mix and mastering, the band went down to Germany, working with Kristian “Kohle” Bonifer at his “Kohlekeller Studios”, mostly known for his work with POWERWOLF, but also extreme bands like ABORTED, SINISTER and AGATHODAIMON. “The thing that stood out was that he wasn’t a one-trick pony mixing the same sound for all bands. Every band had their own sound whilst still sounding appropriate for the metal subgenre they are in”, reflects Dave and adds: “It was great to work with him, as expected!
He was able to cater to our vision whilst still doing things in his way.
And it was a great learning experience for us too, he gave us pointers that will no doubt benefit the way in which we approach certain elements on future recordings.”
