Bloodbath announce new album ‘The Arrow of Satan Is Drawn’
BLOODBATH have announced a new album!
The new album, titled The Arrow of Satan Is Drawn, follows 2014’s Grand Morbid Funeral and is scheduled to be released in October this year.
The upcoming album was recorded by the band and Karl Daniel Liden at Ghost Ward, City Of Glass & Tri-Lamb Studios during the first half of this year and is the second record to feature ‘Old Nick’ Holmes [PARADISE LOST] on vocals.
Speaking about the upcoming record, guitarist Anders “Blakkheim” Nyström says, “what are we presenting with this album? Humanity’s unfaltering march prone towards downfall. The threat to this world isn’t from far beyond the sun, the enemy is right here, within the walls. Only the god of emptiness will survive us all. The Arrow of Satan is Drawn. There’s no mitigating circumstances coming your way any time soon… The world is a mad place full of darkness, horror, disease and terror! Hell on Earth is real and not just limited to fiction. The dark ages transcend all frontiers, ever present but yet unseen.”
Not only that, but the new effort from the band features a whole host of special guests on Bloodicide. CARCASS’ Jeff Walker, BOLT THROWER/MEMORIAM singer Karl Willetts and CANCER‘s John Walker all lend their distinct vocals to the track. Speaking about the collaboration, Blakkheim says, “it wasn’t deliberately planned to be just British guests, but as it randomly turned out that way, it became a really cool feat! Nick [Holmes], Jeff, Karl and John are all legends respectively within the UK death metal scene and we’re proud to bring them all together on our little old school soiree to tribute the days of old.”
