ERADICATOR release “Beyond The Shadow’s Void”, the new single from the forthcoming new studio album to be released on 20.09.2024 on Metalville Records.

‘Beyond The Shadow’s Void‘ is not only the third single from the new ERADICATOR album “The Paradox”, but also the opening track of the thrashers’ sixth longplayer. The lines of the track were inspired by the reporting of significant misdemeanours by great artists and driven by the question of whether one can still consume the cherished art without hesitation. Long before Jon Schaffer of US metal pioneers ICED EARTH was involved in the storming of the Capitol in January 2021 and Til Lindemann used his position of power to pressure women into sexual acts, the master of morbid horror stories Howard Phillips Lovecraft was already surrounded by obvious xenophobic and anti-Semitic tendencies. The lyrics deal with the moral challenge that a reflective consumer of the art in question must face in this case. The special thing about it is that the lyrics are inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s writing style and choice of words. 

ERADICATOR begin the song with an atmospheric rain backdrop that introduces the melancholic, clean guitar intro. The brute walls of guitars shatter the calm and the storm develops into a pounding headbanger. The anger with which the lyrics are spat at you drives the verses forwards. The patience to experience the approaching chorus is rewarded with a catchy melody and twin guitars with earworm potential. Until the last note, Beyond The Shadow’s Void builds up to a furious thrash metal thunderstorm.
The Kraken dethrones the master. For the illustration of this single cover, Bianca Rother used the depiction of the immortal monster god Cthulhu from Lovecraft’s stories. The single, as well as the entire album, was mixed/mastered by Sebastian ‘Seeb’ Levermann (Orden Ogan, Asphyx, Brainstorm) and produced together with Seba Stöber. 

“The Paradox” is undoubtedly the most versatile album by thrashers ERADICATOR. It will be released in the year of the band’s 20th anniversary. The ten new songs deal lyrically with the contradictory nature of being human and present many musical facets, not only of thrash metal. 

“The Paradox” bears the signature of ERADICATOR and shows their unbroken joy of playing. The band has now also made a name for itself live. However, the four guys from the Sauerland region in Western Germany are not afraid to refine and develop their new compositions stylistically. 

The lyrical themes on “The Paradox” reflect the dichotomy and ambivalence of human action and thought. 

Like its predecessor, the album was mixed and mastered by Sebastian “Seeb” Levermann (Orden Ogan, Asphyx, Brainstorm), who once again managed to give ERADICATOR an authentic sound. After 20 years, the four musicians know what they want to sound like and that’s exactly what “The Paradox” sounds like.

ERADICATOR have released “Kill Cloud”, the new single from the forthcoming new studio album to be released on 20.09.2024 on Metalville Records.

The term Kill Cloud stands for the military use of the civilian internet and the information that our networked smart devices collect and transmit. The song lyrics are explicitly inspired by an interview with a female drone pilot who participated in several real theatres of war at the same time. She killed de facto people on the other side of the globe from her home office, in a country whose culture was foreign to her. The metaphors are reminiscent of a computer game and, together with the pilot’s greatest concern, whether her hot coffee will be on her desk in the morning, represent the absurdity of the situation – the abstract military dehumanisation of killing.

The hammering, Tyrolean tom runs and double bass rhythms in the intro, verse and bridge are a special musical stylistic device here. In the choruses, ERADICATOR slow down in favour of the melody and groove. The attentive listener will certainly not miss the jazzy vibes in the drumming before the accelerator pedal is pressed down again in the bridge and the vocal line that closes the chorus brings you back into the world of unbridled thrash metal. The extended C section contains a special guitar solo that you immediately want to hear several times and reminds you of megadethesque compositions. ERADICATOR’s joy of playing sweeps you away in the instrumental interlude of Kill Cloud, until the musical finale triumphs in thrashy style at the end of the song with increased drum and guitar parts.

The cover of the single shows a uniformed fighter from an elite unit, surrounded by ominous drones that only know the command ‘KILL’. The bombed-out backdrop visualises the cruelty of war. The young Ukrainian artist Alina Volnianska is responsible for the illustration, having created this work of art with an awareness of the sad reality of a destructive war of aggression to which her homeland is falling victim. The single, as well as the entire album, was mixed/mastered by Sebastian ‘Seeb’ Levermann (Orden Ogan, Asphyx, Brainstorm) and produced together with Seba Stöber. 

“The Paradox” is undoubtedly the most versatile album by thrashers ERADICATOR. It will be released in the year of the band’s 20th anniversary. The ten new songs deal lyrically with the contradictory nature of being human and present many musical facets, not only of thrash metal.

ERADICATOR have released the new single “The Paradox”. The song is the title track of the forthcoming new studio album to be released on 20.09.2024 on Metalville Records.

Lyrically, the first single from the sixth album by thrash metal band ERADICATOR describes the processes of industrial animal fattening and slaughter. The mechanically monotonous and deadly efficiency of a slaughterhouse inspired Henry Ford to produce his cars on assembly lines. The paradox here is that the godfather of the “assembly line” is animal slaughter. Although the processes of meat production are sufficiently documented, consumers can still ignore the largely cruel facts through selective perception. The text has no claim to moral authority, but rather a descriptive character. Everyone can and may draw their own conclusions from what is being sung about.

Musically, the song has a lot to offer.The opening drum solo begins with around 200 beats per minute, followed by fast, precise guitar riffs.A driving groove sets in with the verse, which encourages headbanging and is carried by the cutting shouting.The tempo picks up again in the chorus and the rudimentary melody quickly becomes catchy.Seba Stöber’s deep growls at the end of the chorus form the first peaks in the song. However, when you expect things to pick up after chorus two, ERADICATOR go one better. Death metal-inspired growls, supported by discordant chord progressions and driven by relentless double bass attacks take the paradox to its absolute peak and form the acoustic image of the described cruelty. Only then is the listener allowed to relax. The middle section reveals calm tones, introduced by an almost clean bass run, and leads into a creamy, singing guitar solo. The subsequent build-up leads back to the chorus and a final ecstasy in the repetitive death-metal-inspired C section.

The single cover was penned by Bianca Rother and shows a grizzly skull with antelope antlers in front of an industrial skyline on a mountain of bones. The single, as well as the entire album, was mixed/mastered by Sebastian “Seeb” Levermann (Orden Ogan, Asphyx, Brainstorm) and produced together with Seba Stöber.

“The Paradox” is the sixth and undoubtedly most versatile album by thrashers ERADICATOR. It will be released on September 20, 2024 on Metalville Records – the year of the band’s 20th anniversary. The ten new songs deal lyrically with the contradictory nature of being human and present many musical facets, not only of thrash metal. 

“The Paradox” bears the signature of ERADICATOR and shows their unbroken joy of playing. The band has now also made a name for itself live. However, the four guys from the Sauerland region in Western Germany are not afraid to refine and develop their new compositions stylistically. On “The Paradox”, ERADICATOR begin atmospherically with “Beyond The Shadow’s Void”: The track develops into a pounding headbanger, only to finally erupt into a thrash thunderstorm. In addition to death metal growls, including in the title track, “The Eleventh Hour (Ramble On)” is the first half-ballad in the band’s repertoire. However, ERADICATOR have by no means forgotten how to swing the thrash club, as they tirelessly prove with “Drown In Chaos”, “Hell Smiles Back” and “Fake Dealer”, among others. 

The lyrical themes on “The Paradox” reflect the dichotomy and ambivalence of human action and thought. “Perpetual Sacrifice” is about denigrating the weaker in order to make oneself feel greater and about the reversal between victim and perpetrator. “When The Shooting Begins” is about the paradox of wanting to create peace through war – whereby the truth is usually one of the first victims after the outcry of the weapons. The concluding “Debris Of Demise” is a fictional tale of mankind having to evacuate the planet due to environmental destruction, but the saving ark being unable to leave orbit due to the large amount of space debris. Singer and guitarist Seba Stöber says, “We don’t want to make a name for ourselves as moralizers, but rather reflect the issues and problems of our time. As artists, our task is also to stimulate a discourse!”

Like its predecessor, the album was mixed and mastered by Sebastian “Seeb” Levermann (Orden Ogan, Asphyx, Brainstorm), who once again managed to give ERADICATOR an authentic sound. After 20 years, the four musicians know what they want to sound like and that’s exactly what “The Paradox” sounds like.

An overdue and terrific festival summer lies behind us. Thrashers ERADICATOR are ready and motivated to produce a new album for you. But before the time has come, you are already provided with the brand new track “Witness To The End”. As with the current album “Influence Denied”, Sebastian Levermann was responsible for the production. Lead guitarist Manni Zewe of label buddies GODSLAVE contributed one of his unmistakable solos to the song. The artwork, which also graces the new merchandise, was done by Sebastian Jerke.

The video is a compilation of the past concerts and a thank you for the support of fans and promoters, which is currently not self-evident.

“Witness To The End” was released on 18.11. as a digital single by Metalville Records. The video for the song can already be watched below.

German thrash maniacs ERADICATOR drop new video “Mondays For Murder” from their highly anticipated upcoming album “Influence Denied“. The video can be viewed below.

Eradicator adds: Most people know Mondays when things just don’t work out. Mondays For Murder, however, does not deal with the consequences of a weekend gone wrong in the classical sense. Rather, it describes in an exaggerated way what will happen if the world community doesn’t finally get off its ass and take the demands of scientists and Fridays For Future seriously. Then the horror awaits us every day of the week.
