NEW Unleashing Vengeance cd "Slaughter the Innocent" released!

Well... Since Unleashing Vengeance got back together as a band last week, we've been working hard on a new cd.  Entitled Slaughter the Innocent, the cd is our latest foray into thrashy folk metal. Folk metal you say? Well the decision to write folk metal was not easy. See there is a lot of cheezy folk metal bands out there... Korpiklaani, Finntroll, etc.  Did NOT want Unleashing vengeance to sound like them at ALL... BUT unleashing vengeance has used folk melodies in the past in it's music on guitar so the jump was not that easy to do.... We just had to do it in a non cheezy way... So I relied on a mix of three non-cheezy folk melodies.... American Folk Melodies, Scandinavian Folk melodies (NOT Finnish), and some non-european ones... The result was amazing. The new cd flawlessly mixes those folk melodies with RAW Blackened thrash metal.  And it's very melodic but quite heavy at the same time. nonetheless..

Songs on the new album are quite varied:

Track 1 "Slow Torment" is a blackened thrash song with some American Folk Melodies in it in the break only. It's slower than the others but it's not really slow...

Track 2 "Death to the Craptardery" is much faster and in your face. It's got a killer thrash riff to open it. Unfortunately the vocals have issues...

Track 3 "Death to Tarnsman" is a normal thrash song that sounds like 2012 era unleashing vengeance. Lyrics are quite personal on this one.. It's about some idiot who trolls people who make "bad" levels for a video game while he plays them online... Stupid idiot is what he is, He did it  to me so he sucks... Yet  they worship the fucker. Vocals came out great...

Track 4 "Impeach that Donald Trump Fucker Already" is one of the more interesting ones on the cd musically. It's a technical thrash song with a cool melody and an obvious lyrical theme... This is one of the most controversial songs UV has written along with track 3.  Vocals came out great. This does have an American folk melody thrown in in the chorus...

Track 5 is an instrumental and is the first one to have a strong oriental music theme thrown in. The rest on the cd do this.. Inspiration came from Nile.  Melodies like this were always in Unleashing Vengeance's music but now they are even more pronounced.

Track 6 "Dipshit music service" is about us being kicked off of jamendo along with my other bands.. Stupid... They deserve this... It's similar to track 5, thrashy oriental folk metal.

Track 7 and 8 are instrumentals and one is based on Scandinavian folk music (track 7) while the other is based on Oriental folk music. Both are inspired by the doom addon epic 2. The addon has you play someone fighting through Egypt in tombs and stuff and he runs into a space ship that takes him to outer space, stargate style. In space while fighting space aliens, he dies. He "wakes up" on a beach nearby another Egyptian tomb and after fighting his way through several more, you can feel that this last third of the addon is not in Egypt but in an Egyptian afterlife called Amenthes.  In this afterlife, souls are put through trials to see if they are pure... One involves going to a firey pit where a crocadile headed demon eats your heart of you aren't pure... That pit is in one of the levels later on and later on you end up going through a mortuary and there it tells you you died... Track 7 is about this mortuary and track 8 is about everything before it. It's a brilliant doom addon...

Track 9 is about how loudwire.com is stupid and they refuse to recognize the following metal bands for being great in their stupid "best band per country" list: Windir, Persuader, Summoning, Harlott, Unleashing vengeance and more... I decided to write about it. This is mostly a melodeth song but does have a folky ending...

I released the cd on noisetrade yesterday, less than 2 hours after it got recorded. While the album came out good, I am slightly disappointed with the production. The vocal production is quite off. I don't know if it's because I am using an old Mic that is dying or something but it doesn't sound quite as good as old unleashing vengeance stuff from 2013. Didn't do what I did to it then but I tried to and it sounded horrible, so I had to produce the cd a totally different way.

I did several youtube videos of unleashing vengeance songs for our youtube channel which you can find here...  Below I will link several of them. Among them were videos showing off 4 songs from the new album, and a music video  for the best song on the album.  I also followed 78 people on our new twitter account and only 4 followed me back and 1 is an anonymous person so I have no clue whether that person is a craptard or not. Wish I could block them... So if you like the stuff linked below or our new album on noisetrade, follow us, we need the followers on twitter desperately..

The Latest Update for the band:

EDIT : It seems Jamendo did NOT kick off our bands from their service. I don't know what the hell happened. One day we could not log in and the bands were all gone from search results and now we're back.... Have no clue what happened..... Maybe the sites were offline for a while? Sorry Jamendo...
