Tribal Scream promises to close the year with a bang, delivering what will be a great album. A good example of this was the release of the EP Tribal Scream in October 2020, with three tracks that will only be present on the physical version of the debut , and with the maturity and synergy acquired by the band since then, what we can observe in their new single, "We Shall Remain," is an even more astonishing result than the band had presented before, creating enormous expectations for the band's definitive debut.
Tribal Scream has been attracting attention from both the public and critics since the announcement of the renowned and experienced lineup of musicians involved with the band, featuring vocalist Vitor Rodrigues ( Victorizer , ex- Torture Squad , Voodoopriest ), guitarist Mauricio Nogueira (ex- Matanza , Matanza Inc. , Krisiun , Torture Squad ), bassist Vinnie Savastanno (ex- Playriff , Army , Rygel ), and drummer Rômulo Jorge “Minduim” ( Ave Noturna , Victorizer ). Much speculation surrounded the band's sound upon its formation, and what we can observe from their releases is a thrash/death metal sound that reflects the long and acclaimed careers of its members, presenting a blend of everything the musicians have created in their careers, combined with a unique musicality—something primal, powerful, and tribal, as the name itself suggests.
The cover art for “We Shall Remain” is by illustrator Ricardo Chagas , and the album will be distributed by WyN Records . Production was handled by Leeo Mesquita of Estúdio Warzone in Santos, São Paulo. Check out the band's new single below:
Regarding the release of the single, the band's drummer, Rômulo “Minduim” , highlighted: “I was invited to join the Thrash Monsters team in February, and since then we have worked very hard to complete this album, which is a gift for all true fans of heavy music.”
You can also check out the EP released in 2020 by Tribal Scream on major streaming platforms, previewing three of the ten tracks that will be included on the physical album, as well as video performances of each of these songs on the band's YouTube channel.
