EIGHT LIVES DOWN band

Extreme metallers EIGHT LIVES DOWN (United Kingdom) unveil the cover artwork and tracklist of their upcoming debut full-length album 'Humans', set for release via Cult Of Parthenope on 5th September 2020.

Singer and founder Aliki Katriou has commented:

"We are pleased to finally announce the first details of our debut record 'Humans'. The album explores aspects of the human condition and mental tendencies. Perspectives are often shifted within songs, jumping from rage to fear to sociopolitical statements and the confusion they cause. This is reflected in the music, which plays with time signatures, song structure and a variety of musical influences. We are very proud of this album and excited to share more details about 'Humans' very soon, so stay tuned!"

The band has its roots in groove and thrash metal but constantly branches out stylistically incorporating influences from prog, death and black metal, as well as various other musical genres such as punk, blues and traditional folk music, while vocals range from low growls and high screams to clean and even operatic phrases. All of this creates a truly unique sound, unmistakably heavy and angry, yet refreshingly different and unpredictable.

'Humans' was mixed & mastered by Dan Baune at Noise Foundry Productions while drums were recorded at A-Tonal Recording Studio.

BIOGRAPHY/LOGO

Eight Lives Down are a 4-piece extreme metal band, founded by Greek-Kiwi vocalist and lyricist Aliki Katriou. Originally formed in 2016 with British guitarist James Scott, bassist Marcin Orczyk from Poland, and Brazilian drummer Rodrigo Moraes Cruz, they released their first EP entitled "May Cause Death" in the same year. In 2017, Scott left the band and French guitarist Paul Allain joined in his place.

The band has its roots in groove and thrash metal but constantly branches out stylistically incorporating influences from prog-, death-, and black metal, as well as various other musical genres such as punk, blues, and traditional folk music.

The vocals range from low growls and high screams to clean and even operatic phrases. All of this creates a truly unique sound - unmistakably heavy and angry, yet refreshingly different and unpredictable. Eight Lives Down, particularly Aliki Katriou, are known for their energetic live performances.

2019 saw Eight Lives Down playing shows in and around London, as well as in Germany and the Netherlands, reaching the semi-finals of Metal2TheMasses London, as well as the finals of the Female Metal Event - FemME battles.

The band is currently preparing for an even more active year in 2020. Gigs are already set up, amongst others, in Switzerland, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands. In March, Eight Lives Down opened for legendary Norwegian black metal act Ancient at their exclusive UK show in London.

2020 will also see the much anticipated release of their debut album, which will be released by the renowned extreme metal label Cult of Parthenope, to which they signed recently.
