Slated for release via Massacre Records – licensed from Fiend Force Records – the album will be coming out as CD Digipak, Ltd. Vinyl LP and Digital formats, the pre-sale is available at: https://ffr.lnk.to/zombeastheartofdarkness
Following the previously-released, first single "Red Ripper", today ZOMBEAST are presenting a music video for new album track "The Cycle"!
"This song lyrically focuses on lycanthropy and the frenzy that consumes. This is some of Mario Montechello’s most aggressive singing on the record. It’s the fastest song we’ve ever written and the double bass action of Kyle Smith during the pre-chorus just creates a massive wall of sound reminiscent of Metallica’s "Dyers Eve", says guitarist / bassist Jared Smith. "The dueling guitar breakdown was also written the night before the studio and I think we nailed it considering it was written in the 11th hour. The music on my end was heavily inspired by AFI’s "Black Sails In The Sunset"."
"The Cycle" is now available on all digital streaming services viahttps://ffr.lnk.to/zombeastthecyclesingle

Influenced by Danzig, AFI, Mercyful Fate, and 80's punk, death rock, and thrash metal, ZOMBEAST has crafted a perfect crossover blend of dark punk and thrash. The lyrics, written by Mario Montechello, explore everything from the true horrors of life to the occult and lycanthropy. With the addition of Alex Young (lead guitar) and Kyle Smith (drums), this album also breaks new technical ground that's never been seen before by the band. Thunderous drums and dueling guitars meet iconic vocals on this long-awaited new album - don't miss "Heart Of Darkness" !
