Dååth announce new album ‘The Deceivers’
DÅÅTH have announced a new album!
Titled The Deceivers, the upcoming album from the American progressive death metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2010’s self-titled record, and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Metal Blade Records.
“Now DÅÅTH is more orchestrated, more over the top. We have more melodies and they’re beautiful,” guitarist Eyal Levi says. The nine tracks were produced by Levi, with Andrew Wade doing vocal production, John Douglass engineering, Jens Bogren mixing, and Tony Lindgren mastering. Guest guitar solos are contributed across numerous tracks by Jeff Loomis [NEVERMORE, ARCH ENEMY], Mark Holcomb [PERIPHERY], Dean Lamb [ARCHSPIRE], Per Nilsson [SCAR SYMMETRY, MESHUGGAH], Spiro Dussias [PLATONIST], and Dan Sugarman [ICE NINE KILLS], with renowned video game composer Mick Gordon [Doom Eternal] contributing sound design and synth to Purified By Vengeance.
The album title is the continuation of a theme that began with 2007’s The Hinderers and continued with 2009’s The Concealers. “Those titles are about the outside world,” Levi says. “They’re not about us. While they touch on the self-destruction and self-deception, we all occasionally fall victim to, this album is a scathing critique and exploration of certain societal elements. The deceivers and obstructers in life. Those who impede your progress through subterfuge and manipulation.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Hex Unending. “It’s about shedding skin, cleansing the old me; reinventing, and carving a new path vocally, physically, and mentally,” explains vocalist Sean Zatorsky. “This song needed to be front and center on the record.” Guitarist Jesse Zuretti adds, “Hex Unending is a track that combines all of the many eras of metal music at its peak – there’s catchiness, groove, power, virtuosity, and uncommon creativity coursing through its veins. It’s the sound of 2024 – it’s perfectly polished yet organic, it’s modern arrangement and composition leads you on unexpected paths – if we were to bet, this track will propel true metal back into the forefront of heavy music.”
