Spanish thrashers Angelus Apatrida have signed with Napalm Records. The upcoming November 19th release of a new EP titled “The Reckoning” is set to cement this new union. That three-song outing features a cover of a “Chaos A.D.” era Sepultura favorite, “Propaganda“.
For now, the group have just shared the first single from it, “Cycle Of Ruin“. A video for that cut is available below. Speaking of landing a deal with the aforementioned label, Angelus Apatrida stated:
“Now it’s time to turn the page! Napalm Records had been chasing us for years, and now the time has finally come. From day one, we felt their excitement, ambition and understanding of who Angelus Apatrida is and where we want to go next. We’re still as hungry as ever, and it feels amazing to finally call Napalm Records our new home! And we’re not coming empty-handed!
‘The Reckoning‘ is our new three-track EP and the first release of this new chapter. Produced by the band, recorded by our homie Juanan López, and mixed and mastered once again by our longtime partner in crime Zeuss, it’s aggressive, heavy, uncompromising and exactly where we are right now.”
As for this lead track, they added:
“And it all starts with ‘Cycle Of Ruin‘. We knew the first song of this new chapter had to make a statement, and ‘Cycle Of Ruin‘ felt like the obvious choice: Fast, relentless and straight to your face, a fresh and modern take on the old-school thrash metal that has always been at the heart of this band.
And we wanted the video to capture that same energy, so we threw a real pool party, brought a bunch of friends together and let the madness happen. This is ‘Cycle Of Ruin‘. Enjoy it! We couldn’t think of a better way to start this new journey. A cycle ends. Another begins. Welcome to The Reckoning!
