Loudblast

Loudblast return with 'Altering Fates and Destinies' album in October

French death/thrash metal legends Loudblast are returning after a 4-year interval between the previous album ('Manifesto') and the forthcoming 9th full-length album, 'Altering Fates and Destinies'. It will be released via Listenable Records on October 25th, 2024.

The band commented: "'Altering Fates and Destinies' is a very dark album, powerful and more mid paced than its predecessors, it's definitely one of our heaviest album so far in terms of patterns, sound and production wise."

1. From Beyond II (The Return)
2. Putrid Age of Decay
3. Crystal Skin
4. Miserable Failure
5. He Who Slumbers
6. Son of Nameless Mist
7. Dark Allegiance
8. Inhale the Void
9. Cursed and Veiled
10. Fortress
11. They'll never Catch the Glint of Sunlight again
12. The Path to the End (bonus track)
13. Forbidden Pleasure (bonus track)

The album was produced and mastered by HK Krauss at Vamacara Studio. Its artwork was created by Khaos Diktator Design.

The band about the first song released off the new album: "The opening song of 'Altering Fates And Destinies' has a pretty old-school vibe, this is a very organic and straight to the point song 'From Beyond II (The Return)' is also dwelling back in the Lovecraft mythos but also referencing Loudblast's own history by offering a sequel to a track of our 1989 debut album, 'Sensorial Treatment' which can also be read as the story of the beginning as a band."
