The Damnnation Eyes of Despair this Friday, the 19th, via Shinigami Records.
Defined as "an album with plenty of anger poured out of the lungs," Eyes of Despair will be available on streaming platforms and in physical format.
The successor to the acclaimed Way of Perdition , this is the power trio's second full-length album, delivering heaviness, melody, and lyrics that echo situations of despair, fear, the unknown, injustice, femicide, isolation, loneliness, and our growth as human beings.
Regarding the songwriting process, founder, vocalist, and guitarist Renata Petrelli commented:
“It was a little different from the previous album. It's more detailed in production, it also took longer, and we took more risks. The beginning was the same, with me bringing the initial compositions, with the raw ideas for the instruments and lyrics. Then, polished in production, each of us putting our best efforts into our instruments. I felt more comfortable with the vocals and we again had Mayara Puertas the vocals.”
The São Paulo-based band took a bold step with Eyes of Despair , delivering a sound with a more traditional feel while still incorporating modern elements. On this album, the band invited women from the national metal scene to collaborate, as in the track "Battlefield," a cry for freedom and equality. A hymn of despair, with weight and power, it also features vocalist Opus Mortis ( Paradise in Flames ). "Evilness" features vocalist Daniela Serafim ( Invisible Control ). Another standout track is the ballad "Already Dead Inside ," featuring Mayara Puertas. In this track, the band opts for clean vocals and light orchestrations.
