The track also serves as a teaser for everyone as this is our new sound in this new age of hardcore.”
The track is currently streaming on the record label/collective Astral Angels spotify page. “Yes we are still a black metal band but you gotta understand the reason why we did this. It’s because we want to create a scene that includes all types of music and where we can remove the boundaries of “hardcore” and “punk”. It’s just a bunch of people playing music together.
