Chthonic is gearing up for the release of their follow-up to 2011′s Takasago Army. Recently, the band has revealed Bú-Tik‘s album cover and, today, the first single, “Next Republic.” And let’s not forget that Rhythm Crusher app from some time ago.
It’s a great track with everything you’d expect from Chthonic: traditional-sounding incantation, frenetic riffage, tight song structure, chanting, and a message you can’t understand. It’s also apparent that expenses were put into its production.
Bú-Tik will hit the streets on May 29, 2013 (JP) and June 3, 2013 (EU, U.S., Asia).
Bú-Tik track listing:
1. “Arising Armament (Intro)”
2. “Supreme Pain for the Tyrant”
3. “Sail into the Sunset’s Fire”
4. “Next Republic”
5. “Rage of my Sword”
6. “Between Silence and Death”
7. “Resurrection Pyre”
