Shrapnel release new song ‘Might of Cygnus’

SHRAPNEL have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Might of Cygnus, is taken from the UK thrashers’ upcoming new album, Palace For The Insane, which is scheduled to be released later this month.

Speaking about the new song, guitarist Nathan Sadd says, “we’ve been so excited about sharing Might Of Cygnus for a while now! It’s one of our favourite songs from the new record because it’s a blend of everything we do. It one of the best songs we’ve ever written, and is an absolute rager! It’s certainly not a prog song, but the title and lyrics are a tip of the hat to RUSH and Neil Peart. We love A Farewell To Kings and Hemispheres, so we felt it would be cool to do a little tribute. We finally got to do a sci-fi themed thrash banger, which is something we’ve wanted to do for a while! For us, Cygnus is an explosive start to the new record and the new lineup. We can’t wait to get on the road and open the live show with it! Thrash, space, and RUSH!”

Palace For The Insane is set for release on May 15th via Candlelight Records.
