Canada’s power metal band Sovereign Council is set to release their new EP, World On Fire, tomorrow (5th). The EP features five emotionally charged tracks representing a shift in their musical direction since their last album, Laniakea. Produced by guitarist Joe Moon and mixed and mastered by Silver Wings Studios, the EP promises to deliver an emotional joyride. The EP’s cover artwork was created by Martin Trottier. Sovereign Council’s unique blend of progressive power metal will appeal to fans of Lacuna Coil, Evergrey, and Evanescence. Listen to “World On Fire” in its entirety via Metal Insider.

The band comments:

“We feel that the sound we have created here is still at its core very “Sovereign Council” but has matured and developed into something greater. We are extremely proud of this new sound and cannot wait to see how people respond to it. We have another set of songs nearly completed as well; these new songs continue our new direction and add another new edge as well as a heavier feel. You’ll have to stick around for the next release to find out what that edge is.”
