Kotimainen metalliyhtye Assemble the Chariots on julkaissut uusimman albuminsa ”Unyielding Night”.
Yhtye kertoo uudesta albumista ja singlestä ”Departure”:
”From the beginning, our collective mindset was to primarily focus on the story and to ignore musical trends and boundaries, as we wanted the album to feel like a movie soundtrack. We also wanted to make playing the songs live fun as well. This means that instead of only writing super technical and complex songs, we took a different approach by contrasting the more challenging parts with more simpler elements whenever the songs needed them. This provided us the freedom to perform and enjoy the music on a whole different level.
”Our newest single, ‘Departure,’ is where things get f*cking real, story-wise. This is the end of this story, but the beginning of a grand one. This means that since the beginning it was clear that this was going to be the opening track for the album, and as such, will be the introduction to the main theme/melody found throughout the album, in almost every song. To contrast this, it was decided that the lyrics of the song would tell the end of the album, and all the other songs in between it. Chronologically, ‘Departure’ is what happens basically right after the battle that our previous single, ’Galactic Order,’ is about. This means that while the album is absolutely crafted to be musically cohesive, but story-wise there are a few time warps.
”Our new music is a non-traditional combination of traditional elements to create an epic showcase of what metal can be in modern times. The way the songs have been arranged and composed keeps the listener aware and drags you into the song. Every note and hit has been carefully crafted with a greater picture in mind. This, in conjunction with the highly thought-out lore behind the songs, creates a combination that truly feels fresh and unique in a pretty saturated field. Our sincere wish is that anyone who stumbles upon this album, would be open to listening to it as a piece of heavy metal history, instead of an example of what a specific genre should to them sound like.
”If you like blast-beats, mega-epic orchestrations, spectacular live shows and nerding out to intricate lore, or if you are just yearning for a unique sounding metal band to add to your song libraries, Assemble The Chariots is your band.”
