Sacred Outcry has revealed some details about its new album. The sophomore album of the Greek metallers is going to be titled “Towers of Gold” and it will be out on the 19th of May, 2023. Below you can read the album’s tracklist and see the album’s cover as well as read the press release of the band’s reocrd label, No Remorse Records.
Time devours all… Dreams, regrets, memories… Memories become legend, legend fades to myth, and myth… So easily forgotten…
A God… A King… A Pawn… The time is at hand… Finally, the shadows grow thick and their crimson tint pulses vibrant…
Power… Knowledge… Gold… He will have it all…
The snake eats its tail and the wheel of time turns… But sometimes the hand of fate must be forced…
…soon…
We are more than thrilled to reveal the title, tracklist and cover artwork of Sacred Outcry’s second chapter “Towers of Gold”, the perfect realisation of the band’s trademark dark, epic power metal.
Written and arranged by the band’s mastermind George Apalodimas, “Towers of Gold” is the first album featuring the band’s brand-new line-up of axeman Steve Lado, drummer Defkalion Dimos and the legendary Daniel Heiman behind the mic.
The long-awaited successor to their highly acclaimed debut “Damned for All Time” was fine-tuned to perfection by the band and was masterfully mixed & mastered by Steve Lado in SL Studio, Greece.
“Towers of Gold” is a full concept album directly tied to the golden age of late ’90s and early ’00s power metal, fused with the legendary ’80s US metal scene, where Warlord meets Blind Guardian and Manowar joins Lost Horizon on a mystical journey through ten chapters of dark epic metal.
Featuring two very special guests, Jeff Black of Gatekeeper on the 12 string guitars and Yorgos Karagiannis on acoustic guitars. The cover art is once again a creation of George Apalodimas who was also responsible for the band’s debut.
