Russian metal stalwarts Second To Sun have partnered with The Pit for the premiere of the band's upcoming new album Leviathan. Ever prolific and consistently ferocious, Second To Sun will release new album Leviathan on September 29. The follow-up to 2019's raging Legacy, itself a game changer, the new album finds the band firing on all cylinders!
The aptly titled Leviathan stuns the senses and annihilates tranquility through eight masterfully composed tracks that are musically inspired by the most lethal Scandinavian Black Metal. The sound is once again engineered, mixed, and master for maximum aural devastation by guitarist/songwriter Vladimir Lehtinen. Album artwork comes courtesy of Alexander Shadrin. Click here to feel the burn and revel in the pain!
If your face is melted, you can pre-order the album here. Though now that I think about it, if your face is melted, are you still able to see? I don’t know, I’ve never tried it personally, and frankly I don’t recommend it at all. Well, if you can still see, then you can click the link. This entire paragraph makes no sense, neither does life. Tyrannosaurus Rex.
