Atlanta, Georgia born band DÅÅTH have unveiled their video for “Unwelcome Return,” a track from the band’s latest full-length album and first new studio release in fourteen years, The Deceivers, which recently arrived via Metal Blade Records. The video was directed by Gaui H Pi.
Band founder/guitarist Eyal Levi has overseen an overhaul of the lineup, though DÅÅTH still features vocalist Sean Zatorsky, who has fronted the band since 2007. Together they are now joined by Kerim “Krimh” Lechner on drums, Jesse Zuretti on orchestration and guitar, Rafael Trujillo on lead guitar, and David Marvuglio on bass.
Jesse Zuretti comments on “Unwelcome Return”:
What if Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman were scored by an epic orchestral metal band and not Danny Elfman? You can find out by listening to ‘Unwelcome Return’ – a vigilante track that lives in darkness, punishes offenders, and disappears into the night. It’s the sound of gothic era classical music fused at the lungs with furious vocals, pummeling drums, razor sharp guitar riffs, infernal orchestral composing, and wicked sound design. If someone tried stopping this track from playing, ‘Unwelcome Return’ would eviscerate anything standing in its way.
For the album, guest guitar solos are contributed across numerous tracks by Jeff Loomis (Nevermore, Arch Enemy), Mark Holcomb (Periphery), Dean Lamb (Archspire), Per Nilsson, (Scar Symmetry, Meshuggah), Spiro Dussias (Platonist), and Dan Sugarman (Ice Nine Kills), with video game composer Mick Gordon (Doom Eternal) contributing sound design and synth to the track “Purified By Vengeance.”
