Dead Icarus will be dropping their debut album “ZEALOT” on Halloween (October 31st) through MNRK. That band finds former Atreyu vocalist Alex Varkatzas joined by Enterprise Earth‘s Gabe Mangold (guitars) and Whitechapel‘s Brandon Zackey (drums).
A second single from “ZEALOT” in the form of “Bearing Burdens And Saving Skin“. A music video for the song was shot with director David Brodsky (The Black Dahlia Murder, Cattle Decapitation) and accompanies the song.
Varkatzas commented:
“I couldn’t be more excited and proud to shared our first full length album ZEALOT with the world. To be a ‘ZEALOT’ means to be fanatical and uncompromisingly devoted to one’s beliefs. A lot of emotion and energy went into its crafting. I worked very hard to step up my vocal performance and really committed to holding nothing back and trying new things in order to match the dynamic nature of the songs.
We kick things off with ‘Bearing Burdens and Saving Skin,’ a fast, chaotic, catchy ripper. Lyrically, the song deals with dishonesty and unrelenting revenge. We match it with a dark and wild video by MyGoodEyeVisuals, which was shot in a cemetery inside a haunted house and serves as a precursor to the subsequent videos we have in the works. Be ready, we are just getting started…”
