Working heavy on the finalization of their second album, ‘Barbarians In Black’, ARMORED DAWN present the tracklist and some teasers of the material.

There will be ten tracks in total, check the tracklist and comments on each one. Some have also got teasers!

‘Beware of The Dragon’ – One of the strongest tracks on the album that well defines the style of the band with orchestrations and great guitar riffs. Teaser.

‘Bloodstone’ – Track in the most modern way with a very remarkable Chorus. Teaser.

‘Men of Odin’ – More cadenced track, with epic subjects – but it is not a ballad (laughs).

‘Chance to Live Again’ – Perhaps the most Power Metal song on the album, with a touch of progressive.

‘Unbreakable’ – Another track with great melodies, mixing with heavier fast riffs.

‘Eyes Behind The Crow’ – Song with 80ies influence, with great guitar riffs. Teaser.

‘Sail Away’ – Ballad with one of the album’s most striking refrains. This is the first single released from the album and already available on digital platforms: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1oueQWyrcULGbpk0DyiqGf

‘Gods Of Metal’ – Heaviest track on the album, heavily influenced by traditional heavy metal.

‘Survivor’ – A more Hard Rockish song with a melodious chorus.

‘Barbarians In Black’ – The title track of the album is another strong song with more thrash guitar riffs. Teaser.

‘Barbarians In Black’ is the successor to the acclaimed ‘Power Of Warrior’. The record is heavier and with many riffs and melodies influenced by the 80ies, in addition to bringing the Viking theme, this time in all the songs.

The production is in the hands of Bruno Agra (We are Harlot) and American Kato Kandwala (The Pretty Reckless, Papa Roach), in addition to the mastering by the American Ted Jensen. The cover is an art by the Brazilian João Duarte.

The release of ‘Barbarians In Black’ is slated for October/November this year.
