Japanese metalcore band Sable Hills are set to release their new album Odyssey on July 19 via Arising Empire.


If the band is brand new to you, let's get you acclimated. Check out the video for “No Turning Back” featuring Trevor Phipps of Unearth. It offers up a MAXIMUM slay factor.


"'No Turning Back' is full of energy. You can mosh, stagedive, circle-pit, singalong, whatever you want to do in metal/hardcore live. The song is fast and short, within three minutes. And we feature one of the metalcore legends, as well as our good friend, Trevor Phipps of Unearth on the song. We toured with Unearth in Japan and Taiwan.” says guitarist Rict Mishima.


Like "No Turning Back?" Awesome, so do we. How about another dose of Sable Hills? Great, we have that, too! The band has also shared the tracks "Battle Cry," featuring Kenta Koie from the Japanese metalcore band Crossfaith and “Odyssey.


The new album, Odyssey, was engineered by Atrium Audio's Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland. These engineers are celebrated for their work with renowned bands such as August Burns Red and Polaris, bringing a refined touch to the band's sound.


Formed in Tokyo in 2015 by the brothers Takuya Mishima (Vocal) and Rict Mishima (Guitar), Sable Hills took shape with their 2019 debut album EMBERS, earning critical acclaim and dominating Japan's metal and heavy music scenes. Their second album DUALITY, produced with industry heavyweight Mark Lewis (Whitechapel, The Black Dahlia Murder, Carnifex), was another career milestone.


This led to a tour from Japan to Europe, with stops at major festivals like KNOTFEST, Wacken Open Air in Germany and Brutal Assault in the Czech Republic. At Wacken Open Air 2022, Sable Hills made history by becoming the first Japanese band to win the METAL BATTLE.


Sable Hills has captivated audiences with electrifying shows and tours with global acts such as Fit For A King, Unearth, Like Moths To Flames, After The Burial, and Knosis, led by Ryo Kinoshita, former vocalist of Crystal Lake.



With the release of Odyssey, Sable Hills are not just expanding their discography but also reinforcing their position as a force in metalcore.
