Progressive death metal group Entheos have announced that their new studio album, Empty on the Inside, will arrive on October 23 via Metal Blade Records. Additionally, they’ve unveiled the album’s first single and video “Golden Crown.” You can check it out below.
Empty on the Inside was produced by Mark Lewis (The Black Dahlia Murder, Fallujah) and mastered by Justin Sturtz at Sterling Sound. The album’s visual artwork was created by Zac Shiffer (Nine Inch Nails, Behemoth).
Entheos comment on the new album:
“‘Empty on the Inside’ is a statement piece for us. From the start, our goal was to capture the raw, visceral energy that made ’90s rock and metal so impactful and timeless by prioritizing authentic performances and our individual voices as musicians over hyper-polished modern production.”
Regarding “Golden Crown,” vocalist Chaney Crabb offers:
“‘Golden Crown’ is a song that we spent a few years writing and re-writing until we felt that we really had it right. The chorus of the song was originally written in 2020, long before we began working on this album, and it was so strong that we knew we had to include it on the album. Once the song was finished, it became obvious to us that this was what we wanted to release as our first single. When writing this song, we channeled a lot of our favorite bands and influences from the ’90s – we were aiming to write a ‘heavier’ version of a ’90s rock song that included creepy synths, huge chorus and an explosive breakdown.
“Lyrically, the song is about losing yourself in a deeply destructive attachment that feels both empowering and imprisoning. The formed relationship has become inseparable from your identity. The lyric, ‘I’ve worn you like a golden crown year after year,’ represents a burden that is destroying you, but has also become how you define yourself.”
