Thanatos Rising, the third full-length from Southern California progressive metal quintet SORIZON, is available today.
To celebrate the release, SORIZON will host a record release livestream event tonight. Fans will be able to listen to the album with track by track commentary by the band, and a vinyl giveaway at the end of the stream. Join the party at 11 p.m. EST/8 p.m. PST at https://youtu.be/XCsUq2bfffA.
“After over a decade as a band, we’ve honed our sound and created the album that we’ve always wanted to make.,” says guitarist Dr. Danny Mann. “I can barely sleep knowing that ‘Thanatos Rising’ is finally out in the world. Can’t wait to party with everyone during the album release livestream. Until then, crank it up loud!”
Thanatos Rising, featuring powerful artwork painted by Eliran Kantor (Testament, Sodom, Havok), is available digitally and on limited edition blood red and black galaxy vinyl via SORIZON’s Bandcamp page at https://sorizon.bandcamp.com/.
Though SORIZON’s music has a definite progressive metal bent, the band aims to break down subgenres to bring metalheads together. SORIZON’s previous releases have garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews, including proclamations that they “rival the better work of Symphony X” and “the guitarists complement each other like not many bands have done; Maiden and Priest come to mind.”
The themes of Thanatos Rising resonate with the state of the world: death, fear of the unknown and the hope of renewal. Thanatos Rising brings SORIZON’s peak of songwriting and critically acclaimed production. Sorizon began building momentum for Thanatos Rising throughout 2020 by releasing eight singles from the upcoming album on all major online music platforms. Check out the sci-fi inspired video for “Imminent Contact” and the album’s title track.
