German black \/ death metal band Thulcandra have released an official visualizer video for the track \u2018Blood Of Slaves\u2019. Produced by Ingo Sp\u00f6rl of Hard Media, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Blood Of Slaves\u2019 might be one of the fastest and most aggressive songs on our new album Hail The Abyss<\/em>,\u201d Thulcandra mainman Steffen Kummerer commented. \u201cWith sharp riffing and sheer endless aggression, the song pushes relentlessly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thulcandra issue fifth full-length studio album Hail The Abyss<\/em> on May 19th, 2023 through Napalm Records.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Hail The Abyss<\/em>, we just count the fifth album within 20 years of Thulcandra,\u201d Thulcandra mainman Steffen Kummerer commented. \u201cA 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 Swan\u00f6 delivered a splendid mix – raw, natural and showcasing each individual musician on the record. Hail The Abyss<\/em> undoubtedly turned into a highlight of our long lasting career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hail The Abyss<\/em> was produced by Dan Swan\u00f6, and marks the recording debut of Carsten Schorn.<\/p>\n

Cover artwork was designed by Herbert Lochner.<\/p>\n
