HEATHENSPAWN RELEASES NEW SINGLE ‘THE RAVENOUS EARTH’
Heathenspawn return with their latest slab of blackened melodic death metal, “The Ravenous Earth”, a crushing track that dives into dark themes and envisions a world where humanity has brought about its own extinction. Obsessed with conflict and distracted by trivialities, mankind clings to the illusion of permanence. But when the end comes, it will come for us all, and the Earth will bury our legacy beneath roots, soil, and stone, as it has done with every empire before us.
To capture this vision, Heathenspawn teamed up once again with long-time producer Matt Clarke (To The Grave), with mastering handled by none other than Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity, Bloodbath). The track also features a guest performance from friend of the band Kevin Smits, whose ferocious vocals amplify the track's dark themes and intent.
The artwork for The Ravenous Earth was created by legendary punk musician and artist Alex CF, whose evocative painting of a skeletal king consumed by nature mirrors the track’s themes of decay and inevitability. The band describe his work as the perfect visual embodiment of the song’s essence, and are honoured to feature his art alongside their music.
The Ravenous Earth is Heathenspawn at their most uncompromising, a brutal yet thought-provoking statement about the fate of humanity and the enduring power of the natural world.
