Nahum stream new album in full
Czech death thrashers Nahum have released a full stream of their latest album 'And The Chaos Has Begun' on YouTube.
THE CONCEPT OF THE NEW ALBUM
Thematically, the album is linked to the “The Gates Are Open” album and shifts its apocalyptical topic even further. While the debut only had a vision of apocalypse and felt it approach hearing the message that nothing stands in its way (the gates are open), the new album is contemplating its triggering. What was about to come in the first album is now happening. In real time, we can see increasing chaos in the state, on the streets, and even in the heads of people regularly lubricated by the media. The raging chaos is a tool, side effect and also the essence of apocalypse that has just started and that will be the last thing humanity will experience. We have just entered the last era!

Calgary, AB metalcore six piece, SHARK INFESTED DAUGHTERS announce they will be performing dates in British Columbia and Alberta as part of their tour in support of their forthcoming album 'These Tides, Our Tombs' due out on November 11th.

The band comments on the release:
"These Tides, Our Tombs" is a project that has been in the works for the last two years. Our entire goal was to create an album that challenged all of us musically plus would break down the genre walls placed upon us by our previous releases. On a lyrical standpoint, the album is an emotional roller coaster touching on subjects such as loss, suicide and depression. "These Tides" symbolizes the negativity that surrounds us; "Our Tombs" symbolizes how we choose to deal with them. It's either sink or swim. We hope the fans will feel the same raw emotion we put into writing this record."
