Dååth is back after 14 years with a brand new record named The Deceivers due out May 3. The band is now streaming "Hex Unending" featuring a guitar solo from Dan Sugarman (Ice Nine Kills) and a music video directed by David Brodsky for My Good Eye: Music Visuals.
The album title is the continuation of a theme that began with 2007's The Hinderers and continued with 2009's The Concealers. "Those titles are about the outside world," said guitarist and Dååth mastermind Eyal Levi.
"They're not about us. While they touch on the self-destruction and self-deception, we all occasionally fall victim to, this album is a scathing critique and exploration of certain societal elements. The deceivers and obstructers in life. Those who impede your progress through subterfuge and manipulation."
The Deceivers features an insane amount of guest guitar solos, including Jeff Loomis (ex-Nevermore, ex-Arch Enemy), Mark Holcomb (Periphery), Dean Lamb (Archspire), Per Nilsson (Scar Symmetry, ex-Meshuggah), Spiro Dussias (Platonist), and Sugarman. The Deceivers also features video game composer Mick Gordon (Doom Eternal) contributing sound design and synth to "Purified By Vengeance."
On the new song, Dååth guitarist and orchestrator Jesse Zuretti offered: "'Hex Unending' is a track that combines all of the many eras of metal music at its peak — there's catchiness, groove, power, virtuosity, and uncommon creativity coursing through its veins. It's the sound of 2024 — it's perfectly polished yet organic, it's modern arrangement and composition leads you on unexpected paths — if we were to bet, this track will propel true metal back into the forefront of heavy music."
