Missouri’s burgeoning extreme metal wrecking crew Disembodied Tyrant has signed with Nuclear Blast Records. With one of the most distinct new sounds in heavy music, the volatile four-piece have already amassed a global cult following with their intense amalgam of blackened deathcore and progressive symphonic metal.
In the span of only a few short years, Disembodied Tyrant has released a handful of singles and an EP that have garnered millions of streams, while performing a mind-blowing set at New England Metal & Hardcore Festival and North American tour with Fleshgod Apocalypse and Shadow Of Intent that have sparked a firestorm of anticipation for what’s next for the band.
Along with the signing announcement, comes the brand new single “8.6 Blackout”; an unrelenting track of raging chaos.
Aongwriter, guitarist and vocalist Blake Mullens says of the song: “This song was one of those rarities where the vision stayed consistent throughout the entire process, it became exactly what I imaged it would from day one. This is a huge pivot thematically from the previous material, coupled with the video I think it’s quite the statement.”
Commenting on the signing to Nuclear Blast, Mullens says: “It’s an honor to be joining the Nuclear Blast roster, alongside some of my all time favorite bands/artists. Disembodied Tyrant has only ever been supported by myself internally, and to now have an entire team behind us is a dream come true, I’m very eager for what the future holds!”
Nuclear Blast America’s label manager and head of A&R, Tommy Jones adds: “I’ve never signed an artist that never played a show live, until Disembodied Tyrant. I just felt so solid on their music and their team, that I rolled the dice. I saw the band’s 8th show ever at New England Metal and Hardcore Fest while they were supporting Fleshgod Apocalypse. After the performance, I hugged Blake and said in his ear ‘thank you for confirming my decision’.”
Can catch Disembodied Tyrant on their North American tour with Chelsea Grin, Shadows Of Intent and Signs Of The Swarm this spring. Tickets are available here.
