Entheos have signed a worldwide deal with Metal Blade Records. Currently operating as the duo of drummer/guitarist Navene Koperweis (ex-Animals As Leaders) and vocalist Chaney Crabb, the outfit entered Castle Ultimate this past January to begin tracking their third album with producer Zack Ohren (Suffocation, Warbringer) overseeing the sessions.
The real-life couple said in a collective statemen of their new label homet:
“We are incredibly excited to announce that we have signed with Metal Blade Records. Metal Blade is a pillar in the metal community and consistently releases music from many of the world’s greatest bands. We are proud to be associated with such a label and look forward to our future working together.”
They also commented on their unique dynamic:
“We respect each other greatly – not only as artists, but as people. Our relationship and the mutual passion that we have for Entheos has consistently been the backbone of this band. We share a vision that we are unwilling to compromise – in music, art, live shows and beyond.
Having been together romantically for ten years, we are very aware of how to play to each other’s strengths. In the creative process, we don’t just write for the sake of our own voice being heard, but what would complement both of our musical voices and vision.
We don’t want anything about this project to be an afterthought, so in the creative and planning stages, it is crucial for us to see it together as a whole and understand how we both fit in.”
As for scaling back their lineup and reinvigorating their musical approach, they offered:
“We took the pandemic as an opportunity to reimagine every aspect of the band and plan on re-emerging stronger and more focused than ever with a new release. With this record, we are pushing beyond the boundaries of what we believe this band is.
It is by far the heaviest and fastest record we’ve made, while simultaneously being the most dynamic and diverse showcase of genre-bending musicianship, melody and progressive themes. We are also more focused than ever on vocal performance, and Chaney will be incorporating pitched screaming and singing along with a more diverse metal vocal range.”
An early 2022 release date is expected for the as-yet untitled effort. A tease of what’s to come can be found below:
