Ashes Of Ares: fuori a gennaio il nuovo album per la band di Matt Barlow e Freddie Vidales, guarda il video di ‘By My Blade’

Tornano nei negozi il prossimo 21 gennaio gli Ashes Of Ares, con il nuovo album “Emperor And Fools”, edito da ROAR! Rock Of Angels. La band di Matt Barlow e Freddie Vidales ha pubblicato il video in anteprima di ‘By My Blade’, che trovate di seguito insieme ai dettagli della release. Tra i vari ospiti troviamo Van Williams (Nevermore) alla batteria su tutti i brani, Wiley Arnett (Sacred Reich) e Tim Ripper Owens.

Nine years after forming ASHES OF ARES, Matt Barlow and Freddie Vidales return with their third full-length album “Emperors and Fools”. This album sees the duo take the darkness and aggression from their previous album “Well of Souls” to a higher echelon. The writing process began almost immediately after “Well of Souls” was released. As usual, it was a true collaborative effort between the two, with ideas originating from one or the other, then evolving and being refined to what is presented on “Emperors and Fools.” The album flow is designed to keep the listeners on edge while bringing them from fast, heavy, pounding anthems to somber, melancholic, emotional pieces. The album ends with the eleven-minute long epic “Monster’s Lament” which features the long-imagined joining of forces between Matt Barlow and Tim Ripper Owens.

“Emperors and Fools” will be released on January 21, 2022 as digipak CD, limited Turquoise/Black Splatter Vinyl (300 copies worldwide), limited Red/Black Splatter Vinyl (300 copies worldwide) and digital streaming and download format.
