Progressive death metal giants, Dååth, have announced their first full-length offering in fourteen years with The Deceivers, out May 3rd via Metal Blade Records. The Atlanta, Georgia-based outfit with founder/guitarist Eyal Levi has embarked on the next chapter of the group with the latest lineup; vocalist Sean Zatorsky since 2007, along with new members Kerim “Krimh” Lechner (drums), Jesse Zuretti (orchestration/guitar), Rafael Trujillo (lead guitar), David Marvuglio (bass). The forthcoming record will feature guest contributions from numerous artists such as Jeff Loomis (Nevermore, Arch Enemy), Mark Holcomb (Periphery), Dean Lamb (Archspire), Per Nilsson (Scar Symmetry, Meshuggah), and more.  

To celebrate the new album announcement, the group has unleashed a David Brodsky-directed and Allison Woest-produced (My Good Eye) video for their latest single, “Hex Unending.” 

Levi comments:

“Now DÅÅTH is more orchestrated, more over the top. We have more melodies and they’re beautiful.”

The album is a continuation from 2007’s The Hinderers and 2009’s The Concealers, as Levi explains:

“Those titles are about the outside world. 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.”

On the song’s lyrics, Zatorsky explains:

“It’s about shedding skin, cleansing the old me; reinventing, and carving a new path vocally, physically, and mentally. This song needed to be front and center on the record.”

Zuretti adds:

“‘Hex Unending’ is a track that combines all of the many eras of metal music at its peak — there’s catchiness, groove, power, virtuosity, and uncommon creativity coursing through its veins. It’s the sound of 2024 — it’s perfectly polished yet organic, it’s modern arrangement and composition leads you on unexpected paths – if we were to bet, this track will propel true metal back into the forefront of heavy music.”
