With barely a month remaining before the release of their their highly anticipated 5th studio album, “Empyrean,” Bay Area masters of Atmospheric Technical Death Metal FALLUJAH, have unleashed their final single entitled “Soulbreaker”. A masterclass of guitar wizardry and a devastating gut punch of pummeling rhythm, the ripping new track takes fans into the pit with a decimating level of sonic ferocity. “Empyrean”, will be out on September 9th via Nuclear Blast.
Guitarist Scott Carstairs, comments on the song: “Prepare to have your mind melted by our latest track ‘Soulbraker.’ This will be our third and final single from our monstrous record ‘Empyrean’ out on 9/9. ‘Soulbreaker’ is a psychedelic spiral into depravity, relentlessly beating you down with pissed off riffs and ethereal walls of sonic bliss. Try not to break your neck listening to this one.”
FALLUJAH emerges, post-pandemic, revitalized as they explore new sonic realms and revisit elements of style executed on early records. With an overhauled lineup that includes primary songwriter/guitarist Scott Carstairs and compeer/drummer Andrew Baird and newly added vocalist Kyle Schaefer (ARCHAELOGIST) and bassist Evan Brewer (ex- ENTHEOS/THE FACELESS), FALLUJAH are at a creative peak that’s nearly unmatched in modern Death Metal.
The band will return to the road this coming fall for The Divine Ascension Tour with Australian Tech-Death co-headliners, PSYCROPTIC. Additional support will be provided by INTERLOPER and COGNITIVE.
Commenting on the tour, Scott Carstairs states: “This fall, FALLUJAH will return to unleash an atmospheric onslaught upon the masses. To say that we are excited to headline with PSYCROPTIC would be an understatement. We have never been more ready to tear up North America… not only to bring you one of the most extreme Tech Death lineups of the year but also to perform for you NEW music from our record ‘Empyrean’!! Let’s rage!”
