US heavy and doom metal unit HIGH REEPER share epic new video off “Renewed By Death”; new album out October 4th on
Heavy Psych Sounds.
US East Coast-based heavy purveyors HIGH REEPER team up with New Noise Magazine to present their striking new video for “Broken Upon The Wheel” today. Get ready for their new album “Renewed By Death”, coming out on October 4th through Heavy Psych Sounds!
Directed by Emmy-nominated, award-winning motion designer and director Sean Pierce (Agnostic Front, Eyehategod, Black Anvil), this new video delivers in true HIGH REEPER fashion, with its epic apocalypse-worthy animated imagery, jaw-dropping shredding, savage pummeling and commanding vocals. Get instantly pulled in by the heavy metal maelstrom of “Broken Upon The Wheel”!
Says the band: “Broken Upon The Wheel was the first song we finished on the new album and after playing it live we quickly realized these new songs were going to be very different than our previous efforts. ‘Broken’ is about the mind finding peace when the body cannot. It opened the door for the underlying theme of record, which is supposed to ask heavy questions alongside heavy music – is death something to fear or a new beginning?”
This fall, HIGH REEPER are back with their most ambitious album yet. “Renewed By Death” is a true heavy metal assault: eight tracks that take you on a journey to the darkest depths and leave you there to rot, featuring monolithic riffs that pummel you from the opening of the album to the close, guitar solos reminiscent of George Lynch and Dave Navarro, and powerful vocals for the knockout blow.
Stream the debut single “Torn From Within” and watch their latest video for “Alluring Violence“!
HIGH REEPER “Renewed By Death”
Out October 4th on Heavy Psych Sounds
HIGH REEPER is a heavy metal band from Delaware/Philadelphia. Shortly after forming in 2016, they were signed to Heavy Psych Sounds Records and have since released two full-length albums and one split EP. They supported their first two releases with almost 90 dates over three tours in Europe alone, including stops at HPS Fests Rome and Innsbruck, Desertfest Berlin and Antwerp, headlining their venue at Desertfest London, Esbjerg Fuzztival and many other killer shows abroad and in the US.
Originally with a sound deeply rooted in modern stoner metal while still giving a nod to classic heavy metal records, HIGH REEPER’s sound has continued to evolve with each LP and through lineup changes. The result of which helped produce their upcoming 2024 full-length length which is a 35-minute assault of brand new metal that finds the band looking clearly forward while at the same time exploring their influences from the 80s and early 90s.
Their third studio album “Renewed By Death” will see the day in the fall of 2024 on Heavy Psych Sounds. It was produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by Shane Trimble at the band’s brand new studio Sletner Sound, in Wilmington Delaware with Justin Di Pinto also engineering. The cover was done by Solomacello.
