Act of Denial is the new band featuring the following all-star lineup of vocalist Bjorn "Speed" Strid (Soilwork, The Night Flight Orchestra), guitarists Vojan "Voi Cox" Koceić (Koziak, Victim) and Nikola "Luger" Bartulić (ex-Benighted, Koziak), bassist Steve DiGiorgio (Testament, Charred Walls of the Damned, ex-Death), drummer Kerim "Krimh" Lechner (Septicflesh, ex-Decapitated), and keyboardist John Lönnmyr (The Night Flight Orchestra).
The band is now streaming their new single "Slave", which Strid said is very intentionally a throwback to an earlier time in melodic death metal.
"Hi, i’m here to talk a little bit about Act Of Denial‘s new single ‘Slave‘," he said. "This song really brings you back to the late 90s and early 2000s, at least that’s what I feel. I was part of the scene, I released the first record with Soilwork in 1998. and this definitely brings me back and it has all trademarks and the bluesy break down, and that’s something what we always had from back then.
"The chorus is very majestic and super melodic and has 2001 written all over it. Loving this song and i hope you’ll enjoy it too. It’s cool."
Act of Denial will release Negative later this year.
