New Single Release: THŪN - IV: Changeling!

International metal collective THŪN returns with its fourth album, Changeling, to be released on the 6th of November via Eat Lead and Die Music.

Featuring Jon Higgs (guitar/vocals; MONSTERWORKS, MOOSE CULT, THE LIVING FIELDS) alongside James Knoerl (drums; AVIATIONS, GARGOYL), THŪN once again welcomes Karl Sanders of NILE, who provides guest lead guitar on all tracks.

On Changeling, THŪN continues to carve out its own peculiar take on extreme(ish) metal: epic death metal spliced with discordant doom, but with a clear foundation in old-school SABBATH and PRIEST influences.

THŪN remains an international, virtual collaboration. With the musicians based in the UK and US, each member handled his own recording and production before the material was brought together for final mixing by Jon, followed by Dan Swanö's masterful touch at Unisound; with an emphasis on preserving dynamics. The loudness war is one fight we'd rather lose.

Jon says:

“This album has been a long time coming. The drums were recorded at the same time as the third album, at a guess about four years ago, and it has been hiding in the shadows ever since. With a half dozen other musical projects on the boil, I just needed to find the time to knuckle down and get lyrics and guitars finished. Luckily, Karl was also off tour and there was an open window for him to smash out the leads. It's great for this to finally see the light of day.”
