Angelus Apatrida: With a perfect appetizer of what’s coming next….

Tweet

Spain’s leading Thrash Metal band Angelus Apatrida returns with their 7th, self-titled album, to be released on February 5th, 2021 worldwide via Century Media Records.

 Angelus Apatrida (/ˈan-je-lus – a-ˈpa-tri-da/) was produced by the band, recorded with Juanan López in September/October at Baboon Records, in Albacete, Spain and then mixed and mastered by Christopher”Zeuss Harris (Rob Zombie, Overkill, Hatebreed, Municipal Waste, Shadows Fall) at Planet-Z in Wilbraham, MA, USA. The album features 10 songs, sounding more determined, versatile and ferocious than ever before, on the verge of the group’s 20th anniversary of existence. A first impression of the album can be obtained now via the single Bleed The Crown.

Angelus Apatrida checked in with the following comment about the song: «It’s really hard to choose what’s gonna be the first single of an album, which is a complete single by itself! Bleed The Crown maybe is one of those classic Angelus Apatrida songs that unites energy, awesome riffs and catchy vocals that once you listen to it will stay in your head the whole day! Powerful song, screaming against dark powers pulling strings from above. A perfect appetizer of what’s coming next with our new album! ».

Lyrics:

Adversity has come

In the name of mass destruction

Adore the self-proclaimed messiah

Beyond what’s right and wrong

A labyrinth of thoughts

Unexpected wheel of fortune

To fill the weak hearts with courage

To drink the guilt from the chalice

Lights out, face down

You’ve seen the tombs on fire

Witness of the boiling blood

Lights out, bow down

The innocent will bleed the crown

Black out, meltdown

A civil war about to break out

Eternity is lost On the liars, on the dying

The crystal prison in their minds

Hiding (false) smiling sorrows

Defense of the indefensible

Premonition to disclose

To adore the living weapon

To kill the false idol

Lights out, face down

You’ve seen the tombs on fire

Witness of the boiling blood

Lights out, bow down

The innocent will bleed the crown

Black out, meltdown

A civil war about to break out

Lights out

The innocent will bleed the crown

Bow down

A civil war about to break out

Profane is the name of God

For those in search of redemption

Spilling through the holes of wisdom

The living hands of doom

Lobotomy of souls

The empty ones are trustful

To hear the silence in the crowd

To seal the black lips of the immortal

Lights out, face down

You’ve seen the tombs on fire

Witness of the boiling blood

Lights out, bow down

The innocent will bleed the crown

Black out, meltdown

A civil war about to break out

Before adding the following words about the video-clip itself: «How to make a cool, straight-to-the-face video during a pandemic lockdown? Just call some friends who actually own an awesome graphics studio, buy tons of beers and let’s get to work! We really wanted to support some local professionals in our town, especially if they’re friends of us and incredible pros; that’s been one of the better points of this. No story, no big deal. Since we can’t perform on stage, we wanted to reflect the real sweat, blood and tears of a real show, so that’s it! The incredible work on lights of Jorge and Juanan made every shot fit perfectly with the rage and attitude of the song itself. No kidding, I think you’ll feel the energy through the screen! We want to thank Fer, Antonio, George, Juanan, Baboon Records, Capitán Denim, Ayeres Antiques, Albeniz Albacete and Arenas Audio for their great work and invaluable help!».
