Speaking on today's album release, frontman and guitarist Jay Tarantino shares:
"Hymns of the Crimson Raven" encapsulates everything we've done on our previous releases while also pushing our songwriting and musical chops into new territory. The title track found us experimenting with slower, groovier riffs and simple melodies that are still just as intense as any of the more technical songs on the album."
Prior to the release of their debut album, "Chaos. Order. Renewal.", Etherius were set to share the stage with Allegaeon in 2020, but the pandemic led them to refocus their efforts in the studio. Now, with "Hymns of the Crimson Raven", they’re more than ready to reintroduce themselves to fans both old and new, delivering their most ambitious work yet. Their latest record represents years of perseverance, growth, and relentless dedication to their craft, solidifying Etherius' place as a band that thrives on taking risks and breaking new ground.
Fans of Megadeth, Testament, and other thrash icons will recognize the classic influences, but Etherius takes it further, pushing their riff-heavy, intricate compositions into bold new territory. The trio blend neoclassical flourishes, modern production techniques, and dynamic compositions that feel fresh and forward-thinking. Etherius isn’t just paying homage to the genre’s forebears—they’re actively shaping its future, bringing a modern sensibility to the beloved traditional thrash sound.
