First Fragment release new song ‘Solus’

FIRST FRAGMENT have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Solus, is taken from the Quebec-based technical death metal band’s upcoming new album, Gloire Eternelle, which is scheduled to be released in October.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “our third single Solus is quite different from either of the singles we have released thus far. It also draws a lot of inspiration from the 80s greats like Joey Tafolla, CACOPHONY, ELEGY, CORONER, APOCRYPHA & of course Yngwie Malmsteen to further showcase a facet of our sound which we like to classify as ‘extreme neoclassical metal’ – a rare genre where the vocals and drumming are closer to extreme metal while the non-death metal string work remains much closer to neoclassical power metal. While the previous two singles focused on swing grooves or highly complex neoclassical counterpoint fused with death metal, this song is pretty much an homage to the band’s old school influences and contains less blastbeats than usual, giving more room for the dancing guitars and lead bass to express themselves. Enjoy and keep spreading the word!”

Gloire Eternelle is set for release on October 29th via Unique Leader Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
