Prepare for a unique extreme metal experience as USA’s Voraath will unveil its debut album “Vol 1: The Hymn of the Hunters” next month on June 17th on Exitus Stratagem Records. The band encapsulates real-life events in their complex musical universe, inviting listeners to join them on a dystopian planet through their immersive storytelling. This album is not just heavy and brutal; it’s a thought-provoking investment into another world, scored with metal. The next video single “The Leviathan’s Keep”, out now, plunges the listener into the main storyline as the band explains:
“This song is actually a prequel to our main storyline. In our musical lore, we are survivalists who take odd jobs in a dystopian society for resources for our village. The song follows our mission as we fight to survive the treacheries of the mountain. The end of the song has a unique twist as our curiosity gets the better of us. The music is the culmination of primitive brutal rhythmic patterns and the epic soundscapes of survival. We are excited to share what we feel is something very unique in the metal and music community.”
“Vol 1: The Hymn of the Hunters” represents months of meticulous development, where each member played an essential role in refining and expanding the complex world that accompanies the music. Dressed as characters from their own dystopian lore, the band becomes god-hunters on a mission, clad in tactical armor and Alien-like helmets with red glowing lights.
With this release, Voraath wants to take the listener into another world and take them on a journey that is heavy yet sad, brutal yet immersive, and boldly scored with metal. They are recommended for metal fans who want to dig into a rich tapestry of sci-fi storytelling and who enjoy Acid Bath, Septic Flesh, and Gojira.

“Crushing Sci-Fi Death Metal” – Metal Injection
“they are a band who’ve combined their musical and visual sides into a silver screen-worthy, sci-fi based, death metal odyssey centered around alien contact, the devastation and degradation of the environment and humanity, rule by corporate overlords and henchmen, Primitivism vs. Futurism and, of course, lots of blood, guts and killing.”- Decibel Mag
