THULCANDRA Release Visualiser Video For New Track ‘Blood Of Slaves’
April 18th, 2023

German black / death metal band Thulcandra have released an official visualizer video for the track ‘Blood Of Slaves’. Produced by Ingo Spörl of Hard Media, the clip can be viewed below.

“‘Blood Of Slaves’ might be one of the fastest and most aggressive songs on our new album Hail The Abyss,” Thulcandra mainman Steffen Kummerer commented. “With sharp riffing and sheer endless aggression, the song pushes relentlessly.”

Thulcandra issue fifth full-length studio album Hail The Abyss on May 19th, 2023 through Napalm Records.

“With Hail The Abyss, we just count the fifth album within 20 years of Thulcandra,” Thulcandra mainman Steffen Kummerer commented. “A banger, and a diverse record that shows a unique blend of black and death metal, combined with classic heavy metal twin guitars. The album turned out excellent and Dan Swanö delivered a splendid mix – raw, natural and showcasing each individual musician on the record. Hail The Abyss undoubtedly turned into a highlight of our long lasting career.”

Hail The Abyss was produced by Dan Swanö, and marks the recording debut of Carsten Schorn.

Cover artwork was designed by Herbert Lochner.

A music video was filmed for the track ‘As I Walk Through The Gateway’. “‘As I Walk Through The Gateway’ turned into a catchy, relentless and melodic exercise of black and death metal that blends the strengths of the band in a unique form,” Steffen Kummerer said. “Catch the band on their first North American tour alongside Fleshgod Apocalypse, Obscura and Wolfheart to feel the blistering power behind this composition in a live setting.”
