I was a little late to the game on Huntsmen's 2018 album American Scrap, which sucks because it definitely would've landed on my Best of 2018 list. This time I'm getting in on the new album right at the top of the cycle and so should you. Huntsmen will release their new double album Mandala Of Fear on March 13, which is also their first with new vocalist Aimee Bueno.
Here's what vocalist Chris Kang had to say about the crunchy, progressively heavier new song "Ride Out."
"'Ride Out' simmers with the adrenaline and gut churning dread of the dawn of battle. As one of humanity’s final wars ravages the land, sea, and air, a young soldier feels the coming storm in her bones and wonders if, when faced with taking a life, her rifle will be an extension of her will, or a lead weight in her hand."
Stream "Ride Out" right now, and see the band at one of the dates below. You can grab a vinyl of the new album here which comes with an entire graphic novel.
