NEWS: Tyrannus face a worse reality…
True Cult Records have announced the release of “Unslayable”, the debut album of Scottish Death Thrash outfit Tyrannus for 22nd April following a pair of well received EPs. Originally forming in 2018 as a duo comprised of Callum John Cant (guitars/bass/vocals) and Alasdair Dunn (drums) with an initial desire to simply make extreme metal music that would sound intense and captivating at the same time. They released some of the songs to be featured on their first album as 3-track demo in 2021 titled “It Taketh” which caught the attention of True Cult Records, who released the demo on cassette. Galvanized by the response to the new demo, they enlisted Fraser Gordon to handle guitar and Alistair Harley to play bass and soon started playing live. As a newly formed quartet they then entered the studio to re-record the demo songs alongside fresh material and the result is “Unslayable”, an album that masterfully combines of crushing attack of thrash and death-metal with elements of psychedelic and post-black metal. Pre-orders are available here.
“The vision we set is complete,” states Callum John Cant, vocalist and guitarist of the band. “‘Unslayable’ is an album which takes our eclectic influences and warps them into a conceptual story with themes of existentialism, Lovecraftian horror and antifascism. We want anyone who listens to this album to find something of themselves in it. With every fibre of our beings, we believe in the music we have made and are looking forward to finally sharing our fully realised vision with everyone.”
