Voraath, sci-fi horror-inspired extreme metal hailing from the Carolinas, USA, is set to captivate metal enthusiasts with their latest video single “The Barrens” off their debut full-length album “Vol 1: The Hymn of the Hunters” slated for release on June 17, 2024, via Exitus Strategem Records, and brings forth a unique amalgamation of bone-crushing brutal riffs and epic soundscapes. The band comments on the first look at the album:

“This was our first song as a band, a song that encapsulated the brutal and melancholic nature of post-traumatic stress (PTSD). The video is a series of flashbacks from the point of view of two of the hunters. One is experiencing loss and betrayal; meanwhile being pursued by a savage otherworldly entity (which shows the layers of coping with one tragedy while fighting to simply exist). The other is the feeling of hopelessness that turns to hate and that hate consumes those around her.”

The music on “The Barrens” carries out like a metal movie soundtrack, with aggressive peaks and demented valleys, all culminating into the grand apex of the final segway, an epiphany of taking back control (live to fight another day). Voraath hopes this track brings awareness to the struggles and trauma faced by those coping with PTSD.

“The Barrens” is not just a single; it’s a glimpse into the vast metal multiverse that Voraath is meticulously crafting. The band’s ideology revolves around merging extreme metal with storytelling, transcending the boundaries of a traditional music act and transforming into a complex brand with a rich lore to explore alongside their music. They are recommended listening for those interested in Cattle Decapitation, Dimmu Borgir, and Acid Bath.

“Crushing Sci-Fi Death Metal” – Metal Injection

“they are a band who’ve combined their musical and visual sides into a silver screen-worthy, sci-fi based, death metal odyssey centered around alien contact, the devastation and degradation of the environment and humanity, rule by corporate overlords and henchmen, Primitivism vs. Futurism and, of course, lots of blood, guts and killing.”- Decibel Mag
