A force has emerged from the cauldron of the Carolinas, USA – Voraath. The musicians in this otherworldly, extreme metal act weave together the twisted worlds of science fiction, horror, and death metal. Their complex riffs, entrancing solos, and captivating vocals tell dark, dread-filled stories, drawing their audiences into their terrifying vision.
This year they will introduce their world and the lore within through their debut album “Vol 1: The Hymn of the Hunters” on June 17th, 2024, on Exitus Stratagem Records. The band shares their excitement as they release the album art, track list, and a promo video available now on YouTube:
“This album is a dark whirlwind of emotions and an auditory odyssey. We pulled from real events in our lives, interspersing them throughout our complex musical universe. We want to immerse the listener in another world. Our brutal themes may shock you, but our goal is to compel you to join in our quest – a quest with an explosive metal score!”
Voraath began as an idea to merge extreme metal with storytelling, to create a world full of strong characters and raw emotion. The band has created a complex mythos for audiences to explore while they listen. They have created a metal multiverse where they are the characters in this lore of their own making, god-hunters on a dystopian planet.
Within “Vol 1: The Hymn of the Hunters” lies a complex story that begins simply but deepens and sucks in listeners, daring them to continue.
Clad in tactical dystopian armor and alien insect helmets with red glowing eyes, Voraath lives and plays in this nether world. Sci-fi, horror, and metal fans will sink their teeth into Voraath, especially those who enjoy Fleshgod Apocalypse, Cattle Decapitation, and Dimmu Borgir.
