ELS FOCS NEGRES "Martiris Carnívors..." album details.
The second album of ELS FOCS NEGRES "Martiris Carnívors: Himnes per a un Nou Apocalipsi" will see the light of day on December 15th, together with the new releases of STUKA SQUADRON and SHAYTAN. These Portuguese maniacs spew out their blasphemies in Catalan, bringing forth an infernal sonic storm of rampant blackened speed/heavy metal, steeped in occult themes and '80s metal glory. With grit-encrusted vocals, compelling riffs and inspired harmony leads, their unique personality shines through in their deranged approach. It's impossible to find a single band that sounds like them as they mix a broad range of influences from ACCEPT, JUDAS PRIEST, IRON MAIDEN, MERCYFUL FATE and VENOM, through BROCAS HELM, KAT, OZ or PAUL CHAIN to FILII NIGRANTIUM INFERNALIUM (in which three of them play/played, including the vocalist). "Heavy Metal Armageddon Speed Metal Massacre" is what they themselves call it!
We've uploaded two songs from this album on our YouTube channel ("Màrtirs de la Creu" here and "Santa Cremació" here), and there's additionally a third one, "Crist a l'Ast" in the Bandcamp player on the ELS FOCS NEGRES page. The full album track list is as follows:
2. Nació Metall
3. Màrtirs de la Creu
4. Crist a l'Ast
5. Maligne
6. Santa Cremació
7. Carnívors

You can find more info about "Martiris Carnívors: Himnes per a un Nou Apocalipsi" and see the high-res cover on the page of this release.
You can buy this CD from our SHOP page now, also in two convenient bundles: with the other two new releases (3-CD bundle with STUKA SQUADRON "Zeppelin" and SHAYTAN "Chapter One") or with all other 2023 releases (5-CD bundle with the aforementioned ones plus KINGDOM OF TYRANTS "Architects of Power" and ARKHAM WITCH "Beer and Bullet Belts"), paying 10,00 Euro instead of 12,00 Euro for each CD in a bundle. Since we're announcing it so late and the postal services are of course very slow in this time of the year, until the end of December everyone who orders any of the three new releases will be offered a free download from Bandcamp, but only our newsletter subscribers who order one of the two bundles will additionally get a free CD of their choice.
As always, the album can be ordered as digital download (in lossless formats) from our Bandcamp page. It will be distributed digitally as well and made available from iTunes, Amazon MP3, Google Music, Spotify and other retailers and streaming platforms.
