Canadian born power/thrash metal outfit Lycanthro have released their most recent single from their upcoming album Mark of the Wolf. Lycanthro effortlessly blends influences from classic 70's/80's heavy metal, thrash, and power metal, combined with modern elements for a seamless fusion of past and present. "Evangelion" is part heavy, part moving with solid vocals courtesy of frontman James Delbrdige.
Delbridge comments: “We felt as though this track would be a good addition to the album to diversify it even more. This song was a passion song for me as it took me a year to write it! Mainly because I wrote this song bit by bit while I wrote some of the other songs. Lyrically this song is based on the anime “Neon Genesis Evangelion” which is a show that is very near and dear to my heart. As for the music, there’s a few cool synth lines in the song that gives it an epic feel as well as one of the more melodic guitar solos on the album.”
Mark of the Wolf is due out June 4th. Album pre-order available on Bandcamp and Big Cartel. Digital pre-save (Spotify) here.
