LA rockers Anubis have released another digital single with the track “Priestess of Dark Paradise” available now to stream everywhere. As you can see below the video captures the band’s incendiary live performance which must be seen to be believed. Director Kenji Tsunami (Hatchet, Tegmentum, Apothesary) had a hand in making that happen.
“Priestess of Dark Paradise” follows up the two earlier advance tracks “Heartless” and “Devour,” both appearing on the new Anubis record Dark Paradise.
Singer Devin Reiche states:
’Priestess of Dark Paradise’ is one from Justin’s (Escamilla – guitars) songs and given the Anubis treatment, ie faster, shorter, more solos, and more vocal hooks. It’s about the toxic ex who you can’t stop yourself from longing after. For the music video we gave an open call to everyone in our community in order to get a bigger-scale result than what we could achieve on our own, and it’s the second time the community came through beyond all expectations. Everyone who shows up to our shoots always brings their metal A-game and are what make these videos legitimately special.”
Bassist Will Buckley comments:
“‘Dark Paradise’ marks our inaugural full-length album, and the anticipation is real! We believe this work strongly showcases our distinct blend of lightning-paced thrash riffs and resonant, memorable hooks that you’ve all come to expect from us. We’re beyond excited to unleash this adrenaline-charged experience straight to your ears, and soon to a venue near you!”
If the name Devin Reiche sounds familiar to you, it’s because he’s also the bassist in Bay Area thrashers Hatchet. Joining him in Anubis are guitarists Eleazar Llerenas (Delusional Fate) and Justin Escamilla (Tower Guard), bassist Will Buckley, and drummer Robin Salazar (both formerly of Hydera).
Anubis has opened for bands like Raven, Rhapsody of Fire, Warbringer, Heathen, Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens, Allegaeon, Hammerfall, Metal Church, Exmortus, Hatriot, and placing at the Wacken Metal Battle U.S. final.
