Æther Realm announce new album ‘Redneck Vikings From Hell’

ÆTHER REALM have announced a new album!

Titled Redneck Vikings From Hell, the upcoming album from the American metallers it the follow-up to 2017’s Tarot and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Napalm Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, frontman Vincent ‘Jake’ Jones says, “we really didn’t want to make Tarot two with this album, not because we don’t like it or anything but because we’ve already done that. So, when I found myself with this chorus for the title track, I just couldn’t get it out of my head. We intentionally kept the songs short and dense, and allowed ourselves enough variety between topics to explore that space between how we present ourselves and who we actually are. We’re four North Carolina boys – we like epic, bombastic metal, and the only thing to stop us from combining these elements of ourselves musically is our own attachment to the conventions of the genre.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Goodbye.

Speaking about the new song, Jones says, “it’s hard to leave people we care about. But something hasn’t felt right for a while. We dance around it and put it off as long as we can; ‘But maybe this time we can change, but maybe this time we’ll make it work’ – sometimes you just know it’s time to say Goodbye.”
