CRAVING Unleashes “Death March” Music Video Of Upcoming, New Album

Extreme Metal Act CRAVING Unleashes “Death March” Music Video Of Upcoming, New Album “Call Of The Sirens”, Out This May On Massacre Records!

May 19, 2023 sees German epic extreme metal trio, Craving, release their upcoming, fourth studio album, entitled “Call Of The Sirens”, through Massacre Records. The record will be available as vinyl, CD, and digital formats, pre-order HERE!

Building upon the staggering success of their previous album, “By the Storm”, Craving continues to awe audiences with their unique fusion of melodic black metal, melodic death metal, and traditional heavy metal epicness on stages of all sizes. This time, the album contains eight catchy to-the-point core songs and two bonus cover songs on the CD version: “Shum” by the Ukranian electro-folk band Go_A and “El Diablo” by Greek singer Elena Tsagrinou. The lyrics on “Call Of The Sirens” will feature four different languages: German, English, Russian and Ukrainian. Along several high class guest musicians, the album will also feature Cradle Of Filth guitarist Marek “Ashok” Šmerda in a solo on the track “Gods Don’t Negotiate”.

Following previously-released, first single, the furious album title track, today, CRAVING have shared a new music video for the song “Death March”!

“Have you ever been in hell? Sometimes life guides you through it, but you have to push yourself and withstand the suffering,” tells the band about their new single.

“‘Death March’ follows the epic path of previous Craving songs like “Penelopes’ Prayer” or “Wenn der Wind sich dreht”, and delivers an epic feast for melodic death metal and black metal fans. Shot in a burned down ruin, the video perfectly represents the inner struggle the protagonist is experiencing.”

Events in the band’s lives, the world, and in our society, which is more and more striving towards psychopathy, have inspired the band to write this album. “Call Of The Sirens” is metaphorically following the irresistible voices of the sirens, the mythical creatures mentioned in Greek and many other mythologies, which lured people in by seductive behavior and ultimately killed them.

Led by Ivan Chertov, Craving is forged by Jonas Papmeier, a highly talented guitarist from Hamburg, as well as the best metal drummer from Germany, holding the unofficial world record in playing blast beats at 250 bpm for over 20 minutes straight, Wanja “Nechtan” Gröger.

The album was produced by Craving and once again mixed by Christoph Brandes at the Iguana Studios (Necrophagist, Finsterforst, The Spirit, Imperium Dekadenz etc.). As always, the cover artwork was created by the band’s long-term friend and designer Andrej Bartulović / All Things Rotten.

Slated for a release on May 19, 2023, the pre-sale is available via Massacre Records at THIS LOCATION!
