Video for title track now available – Watch HERE!
Metal Blade Records has just released the new digital EP from Athens, Greece extreme symphonic metal act, W.E.B. titled Into Hell Fire We Burn. Check out a video of the title track HERE.
The digital EP is a follow up to 2021′s Colosseum, which AVE NOCTEM referred to as “gratuitous, powerful riffs, indulgent gothic overtones and challenging, personality-filled metal” while METAL OBSERVER said W.E.B. is “a band more than capable of going toe to toe with genre legends Septicflesh, Rotting Christ and Dimmu Borgir.“
Here’s what the band has to say about the upcoming EP, Into Hell Fire We Burn:
“This EP was an idea that had been wandering our minds for a long time. W.E.B. have only released one EP in 2012, the one called ‘My Storm Upon You’ and the freedom of releasing experimental material, which would never be part of an official album, in addition to something new and a couple of re-enhanced versions of songs, is always intriguing. Here we are with a new song ‘Into Hell Fire We Burn,’ a re-recording of ‘Necrology’ (from Colosseum 2021) sang by Hel Pyre, a re-recording medley of two older songs ‘For Bidens’ and ‘My Storm Upon You,’ an industrial remix of ‘Nightmares in Disguise’ and ‘Regina Est,’ a full orchestral version of ‘Clamor Luna’ trilogy and a cover of Rotting Christ’s ‘Non Serviam.’ There’s a lot to process and listening to this EP seems like a roller coaster with very strange turns but this is what makes roller coasters fun, right? We invite you to an album-lasting ride through several musical layers of the netherworld, from burning into infernal fire to the victorious scream of ‘Non Serviam.’
Demons don’t serve in Heaven – Demons rule in Hell
STAY DARK“
The final single released off the EP is the title track of the EP, which the band talks about below:
“This song just came out of nowhere as a composition after watching a guitar video of the late Alexi Laiho. Musically it doesn’t follow any Children of Bodom forms yet, inspiration will always be inspiration. ‘Into Hell Fire We Burn’ is what you would simply call an extreme heavy metal song and that’s what we love about it as a band. The lyrics go through the seven deadly sins concept and the chorus suggests all sinners chanting the consequence of burning into Hell’s fire.”
You can watch the video for the first single, ‘Necrology of Hel‘, HERE.
