Introducing "The Ashen Child", the latest release from UK-based heavy metal band, The Spectre Beneath. A potent fusion of power metal and progressive metal, this album builds on the band's signature modern, complex, and dramatic style, and is set to be released digitally on July 14, 2023. "The Ashen Child" delves into the narrative established in the band's debut album, "The Downfall of Judith King". It presents a compelling exploration of themes such as loss, loneliness, and survival, resonating with listeners on a profound level. The track "Refuse of the Past" takes inspiration from the 1971 film, "The Omega Man", serving as a testament to the band's diverse influences. With every track, listeners will discover infectious melodies, powerful vocals, grinding guitar riffs, twisting solos, and an undeniable element of speed. Recorded between 01/22 – 01/23, "The Ashen Child" was produced by The Spectre Beneath and was mixed and mastered by Juho Kilponen of Kilproduction Audio. This is an album for all fans of heavyweights like Megadeth, Kobra and the Lotus, Queensryche, and Iron Maiden. Eager listeners can access an MP3 audio file of the album via this link. Lauded as "one of the most valuable discoveries on the world metal scene" by Metal Melodic Sound, The Spectre Beneath's unique sound continues to intrigue listeners. Following the release of their debut album in 2019 and the subsequent release of "The New Identity of Sidney Stone" in 2020, the band has established its place in the metal scene. The addition of vocalist Stevie adds a new layer of power and sass to the band's sound, making "The Ashen Child" a highly anticipated release. |
