Apes will unleash their new record Penitence on June 14, and we're happy to premiere the destructive new single "The Great Fire". Before the full song even kicks in, you're gonna get sense of the sheer auditory weight thanks to that devastating guitar tone and equally spacious drum tone. It's all beefy.
"Feel the weight of 'The Great Fire' as it takes you on a bone-crushing journey," said vocalist Alexandre Goulet. "This track upholds our tradition of crafting slower-yet-heavier songs, which unavoidably become favorites. Rest assured, this one will be no exception! It harnesses the power of our triple-guitar setup, and builds to a climactic mosh-worthy finale that will resonate long after the last chord fades. LET MY TORCHING BODY BE YOUR GUIDE THROUGH THE NIGHT!"
Penitence was recorded by Marc-Antoine Desjardins and Raphael Malenfant at Broil Audio, mixed by Andy Nelson at Bricktop Recording and mastered by Will Putney at Graphic Nature Audio. Artwork was created by Goulet of Goule x Design. Penitence will be released on vinyl by Secret Swarm Records and digitally by the band with a CD and cassette edition to follow.
