Dååth - Ascension (Official Video)

Buy here: www.metalblade....
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,” Levi says. “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.”
“Ascension” explores mindless conformity and how easily one can fall victim to coercion. From the first hit of the drum opening, the song is a powerhouse that delivers a journey through larger-than-life orchestrations fused with flattening metal devastation. “This song is a beast. Riffs for days, brutality and groove, there are soaring solos all over the place,” says Levi, “plus, it’s peppered with parallel universe Danny Elfman moments.”
Adds Zuretti. “Rarely is it true to be taken on a ride with music; let ‘Ascension’ prove its validity by guiding you through warping passages, orchestral fidelity, uncommonly creative musicianship, and uncontested power. ‘Ascension’ is the year’s mindfuck, carrying the listener from different realms of musical identity, showcasing talent to points that’ll make you think it’s otherworldly. Of all of the tracks you’ll hear in 2024, this will be one you’ll be revisiting the most whilst scratching your head in disbelief.”
"The Deceivers" was produced by Levi, with Andrew Wade handling vocal production, John Douglass engineering, Jens Bogren mixing, and Tony Lindgren mastering. Guest guitar solos are contributed across numerous tracks by Dan Sugarman (Ice Nine Kills), Jeff Loomis (Nevermore, Arch Enemy), Mark Holcomb (Periphery), Dean Lamb (Archspire), Per Nilsson, (Scar Symmetry, Meshuggah), and Spiro Dussias (Platonist), with renowned video game composer Mick Gordon (Doom Eternal) contributing sound design and synth to “Purified By Vengeance.”

You guys smashed it brother

[@skaggreen4212]

What a comeback! Everything sounds awesome

[@Bequeefed]

Daath proving theyre one of the most hard working bands in metal right now, from the composition to production and music video output, they're making waves once more and rightly so

[@moleskiimetal]

I swear, Daath is one of the most exciting bands in metal right now and people are sleeping on it

[@KadintheGuitarDude]

This is so fucking SIIIICCCKKK!!! I really hope this album gets Daath the level of attention and success they deserve.

[@DivineLight661]

Never heard of this band before but they've made it into my playlist alongside carcosa, a wake in providence and many many other amazing bands

[@SiriasisOFFICIAL]

Dååth is back again 🔥

[@bassbarge]

Saw these dudes in toledo at the biju back in like 04, so glad to hear new music

[@chesusd9884]

Still clinging onto my falling apart Daath hoody from your gig in Oxford (UK) from possibly 2008?! refuse to stop wearing it🤘

[@ChagrinElectric]

I haven't been this psyched for a new album in years! Sean Z is the man, Krimh is my favorite drummer, and Rafael's guitar work is absolutely stellar! I am so happy to see this powerhouse band finally get the credit they deserve 🤘😁

[@TheOneTheyCallRaleig]

Well I mean now I have to play it on repeat. There is no other choice

[@eyalleviurm]

Good choice

[@interlacedlowtech]

Loved the Dean Lamb solo! Was really tasteful and impressive!

[@keithchristen8497]

Krimh looks like Tim Yeung haha. Sick track.

[@rayziegler682]

This fucking kicks fucking ass and then comes back and fucking kicks it again.... This new stuff is fucking fantastic and was well worth the wait...

[@christophersamanthareese-a9638]

They were always one of those bands I thought I was the only one who listened to them. I don't know a lot of metal heads where I live bit the ones that do I never heard them talk Daath

[@bjarla]

The best, original, non-standard, furious and melodic 🖤🖤🖤

[@demontheory]

The hinderers was an amazing album... Glad to see you back guys.

[@kebobski]

Thanks for listening guys. I really appreciate it.

[@eyalleviurm]

Thanks for listening guys. I really appreciate it.

[@Hixeta]

Daath's return with a banging album must be the best thing that has happened in 2024 Metal Music Calendar.. damn, this so good.

[@karsaorlong666]

I checked out the Klag album on Black Metal Promotion today. You should give it a try.

[@henryruiz4502]

LOVE the trading twin solo!! Really looking forward to the entire album 🤘

[@joshtaylor6086]

The back and forth/blended solo section is one of the sickest things I have ever seen! Bravo, gentlemen!

[@grrttshw]

Dean Lamb doing the damn thing. banger of a track here fellas.

[@TommyAgramonSeth]

I would recognize the shine of that head anywhere And the solo was pretty good, too, I guess...

[@wrongperfection]

And yet he still doesn't give us 4 levels of Daath...

[@DAATHOFFICIAL]

@@wrongperfection I'm sure he can be coerced

[@grrttshw]

@@TommyAgramonSeth the glare was a dead giveaway for sure. 😂

[@extendedrangetechmetal1489]

absolut greatness, i am glad there still exist bands playing like this.

[@thedroptuner1448]

I think Daath is turning into what I wanted Obscura to be and I'm not complaining.

[@tubeman69]

Still can't believe a local band I had run-ins with when I was little local band boi is now on Metal Blade! All the new songs and the covers sound incredible so far! Really excited for this album to drop. Dååth has always been special!

[@rafaeltrujillo_official]

Yesss!!!

[@northnick3317]

Lovin' those leads, my dude! lml

[@rafaeltrujillo_official]

@@northnick3317 thank you! 🤘🏻

[@monwa133]

This slams and that change at 1:45 and on is just soooo bad ass!! The way everything evolves is 🔥

[@eyalleviurm]

Thank you! Really appreciate it

[@cheesofile666]

Good shit. Also, finally a Dean/Rafael collab. Knew it would happen

[@janedoe2509]

I remember The Concealers coming out when I was in high school, welcome back lol

[@onibonesmedia]

This is probably the pinnacle of metal, guys. Fucking immense.

[@raubtierheinz2807]

I was so angry when part of the band left to join Chimera about 13 years ago or something like that....and this week I got a notification about this new song. I'm still angry about those 13 years of emptiness but I'm happy to have new stuff to listen to.

[@devinwalberg1284]

Loving the new tracks. Looking forward to the new album and hopefully i will see you on a North American tour soon! Unreal guys!! You nailed it!

[@Apshoupe]

Groovy stuff... love all the elements in it.

[@MattyEvan]

Oh baby, this reminds me of sitting there in class back in grade 9, headphones on (it was allowed) listening to DAATH 🤘It's so good to hear you guys again.

[@DAATHOFFICIAL]

Thanks for listening! It's great to be back!

[@luls9000]

max volume, leaking out for the entire class to hear. mf's threw me out. what's their deal, my music is sick, they should be grateful (don't gimme shit for this, there's an explanation)

[@galgabrielisrael3237]

The best death metal i've heard in long time

[@AlienorchestraNetoslo]

Perfect riffing, amazing drumming, great production 10/10 !!!!

[@Ninjango1983]

No warehouse or cheap effects. Just a badass band doing badass band things.

[@chrisrinehart4008]

Daath was my shit back in high school. Glad to see them back at it and crushing.

[@thesilencermusic]

I saw you guys at some bar in Iowa in 2009, I think, and your sound and approach stuck with me. Glad to see you putting out new music.

[@Tolucoregonian]

What a great comeback from you guys. 🤘

[@eyalleviurm]

Thank you

[@mikebumstead2973]

This is really growing on me.

[@AnEvolvingApe]

This incarnation of Daath is giving me supergroup vibes. I'm hyped for the LP and a tour!

[@rabbitz7740]

I like where we are heading with metal in general these days. Every band is killing it these days. Daath is no exception.

[@NDoe-fg4no]

its so **cking great to see they're back again!

[@ViewHertzRecords]

I thought I wouldn't listen Daath again, you guys have my respect 🤘

[@zeroveda]

Wow!!! You're getting better and better 👏 Creative, heavy, technical and aggressive. Fantastic combination! The video is great as well 🤘🤘

[@markwilburn4962]

Looking forward to this release!!!! Love it!

[@brapamaldi]

So glad you guys are back! Bought your singles (awesome covers btw) and was hoping a full album was in the works. Welcome back! Just listened to The Concealers the other day and thought about you guys, love how the unverse works some times, haha.

[@METALDANNY420]

Never heard of this band, but damn I'm glad I clicked on this video. This is fire!

[@AlexeySolovievMusic]

Super awesome song! 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏

[@wessnow559]

[@brianbaugusmusic]

Every day, Daath continues to inch closer and closer to being my favorite band.

[@gunplapocket8823]

Great great music guys!

[@NicGarrison]

[@dethsyndrome]

[@samthompson2882]

Literally just heard Day Of Endless Light again for the first time in forever now you have NEW MUSIC?! YES

[@mattcude6917]

Damn havent heard daath since dead on the dance floor.

[@KarstenJohansson]

I like how the name looks like Death, but means Back Then. Some of that rhythm lead interplay is brutal!

[@deviIdriver_ruby]

я галопом побегу в магазин за диском, Боже спасибо Вам ребята за прекрасную музыку!

[@ForLorNVuLgaR]

I appreciate the look of the vid as a throwback to the concealers (my fav) and Dean ripping a bad ass solo, but id be lying if I didnt mention that I felt a lil lost during his solo

[@juangrasanchez7635]

Excelente tema y excelente disco. He descubierto a esta banda este año y la verdad me ha sorprendido gratamente. Muy buen Death Metal Melódico con pinceladas más brutales, precisos arreglos sinfónicos pero sin abusar, un gran vocalista, un nivel técnico/instrumental muy alto y excelentes colaboraciones. Candidatos a disco del año sin duda.

[@ZephorosDracus]

Ave Chorozon Ave Shugal Hail the Beast Hail the nightside🌑🤘🔥

[@kaaillautaroalarconnavarro7768]

Acabo de escuchar esta banda por primera vez...TREMENDA 😮🎉🎉🎉

[@TheDustyForest]

Damn I knew the name Daath but never checked them out before, this is great

[@BozKiller]

Fucking great, definitely. That sound is massive and so well structured (we ear and feel the layers), and the composition is awesome. Excellent job Eyal & Daath!!!

[@SpecialAgentBillMaxwell]

I was just thinking about this the other day! "After those surprise singles last year, I hope Daath puts out a full album." Made my day! Figuring out my pre-order now. . . You guys should sell signed copies too. I'd buy one for extra $ without a second thought. Actually, I wish all bands would do that.

[@damiansmith2170]

Hi from Perth Australia 🤘🖤

[@deviIdriver_ruby]

Привет из России!!!!!!!🤘

[@brapamaldi]

adelaide represent! would say that i'll come see ya if you tour down under, but lets be honest... most bands skip adelaide anyway, haha

[@kirbbeans9583]

first time hearing this band and this is killer! can't wait for the album

[@christophersamanthareese-a9638]

So stoked they have new shit it's fuckin killer haven't lost anything

[@ianseurattan2084]

[@DAATHOFFICIAL]

Thank you! This song is 6,7, and 8 string.

[@vkermodekumav8949]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATH...... Lol, like my 5th time jamming to this track.

[@frenchjoce]

vous êtes monstrueux ,votre retour c'est ça le métal

[@TranscendencyBand1]

Everytime I hear Daath I find myself thinking “what..is this?” And just not really knowing what to make of it. And honestly not in a bad or even good way, I’m just kinda neutral and confused

[@akashdeepsingh5548]

This is so awesome. You guys rock.

[@gabrieldiaz-xq1uy]

That was amazing Dual guitar Sick drum Phil Sexy acoustic symphony bass Good work

[@beauskelton7819]
