Unleash The Archers have released their new work, which has been awarded the Juno 2020 Award.
The Canadians of modern Power Metal will celebrate the fifth anniversary of 2017's "Apex" album with a limited edition 2-CD Earbook reissue, as well as in Deluxe Digital formats, on November 18 via Napalm Records! Pre-orders for the special edition of Apex are available now.
Both the 2-CD Earbook and Deluxe Digital versions will include the complete original Apex album, plus two new bonus tracks - "Falsewave" and "Acoustipex" - reimaginings of the original album tracks "False Walls" and "Apex" respectively, as well as a newly mastered instrumental version of the original album. The bonus tracks will also come on a limited edition 10" vinyl EP, available as part of the Earbook edition.
The synthwave reimagining "Falsewave" translates perfectly with the original's super moody, midtempo vibes, while "Acoustipex" haunts with folk/cinematic country-western gothic taste, breathing new life into Apex's title track. Jump in your DeLorean and jam out to the electric grooves of "Falsewave" now, also listenable via a brand new lyric video!
UNLEASH THE ARCHERS frontwoman Brittney Slayes says:
"Hard to believe it's been five years since we released Apex! That record was really the beginning of a new era for us, so we are so excited to finally give it the deluxe treatment it deserves! The new bonus tracks were a lot of fun to create, as they've allowed us to show some of our other musical influences more prominently. The earbook is definitely the part I am most excited about though, being that the earbook for Abyss was really a sequel to the story from Apex. Now our listeners can read the full 'Immortal Saga' chapter by chapter and discover some new details that were too difficult to convey through the music. And, we can't forget about the instrumental edition! We've had fans asking for it for a long time and we can't wait to hear the vocal covers and new renditions they come up with! We are just so excited for everyone to get their hands on this new edition - it's such a great way to celebrate the fifth anniversary of this album that will always remain so special to us!"
