Defenders Of The Faith, le forum Metal

For the past 40 years, the Bay Area thrash pioneers, Heathen, have abided by their never-say-die attitude. The Heathen brand of intelligent yet aggressive thrash appealed not only to the genre’s core demographic but also to metal fans looking for brains behind the brawn. On March 14, the band will release their newest offering Bleed The World: Live via Nuclear Blast Records.

Bleed The World: Live features songs from each of the band’s albums, including recent tracks such as “Sun In My Hand” and “The Blight” as well as classics such as “Hypnotized” and “Goblin’s Blade”, mirroring the band’s crushing live setlist. Today, Heathen offers fans the first single with a live music video for the track “Sun In My Hand”.

Heathen comments, “We’re beyond stoked to announce the Bleed The World: Live album! We recorded both the band AND the audience at every show on our ‘Bleed The World’ tour to capture a true live experience in audio form. The most powerful performances of each song were mixed for the album and the results are incredible. Can’t wait to share this with everyone to enjoy while we get ready to head into the studio for another dose of Bay Area thrash!”

Recorded in several cities across the United States during the 2023 ‘Bleed the World’ tour, Bleed the World: Live is the perfect audio representation of the Heathen live show. Produced by guitarist Kragen Lum and mixed by Zeuss, Bleed the World: Live transports the listener into the concert hall with a crystal-clear yet heavy production and captures the interaction between the band and the audience that makes every Heathen live show special.The cover artwork by Travis Smith depicts a steel Heathen logo piercing the bleeding Earth, held by a hand that encapsulates the world tour as a moment in time.
