FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DEATHNIR’S HIGHLY ANTICIPATED THIRD ALBUM WHERE THE WICKED MEET IS OUT NOW!
Thrash Metal Titans From New Zealand Unleash Their Finest Work Yet
Hamilton, New Zealand – Deathnir, New Zealand’s electrifying thrash metal band, is excited to announce the release of their third studio album, Where The Wicked Meet , out now! This album marks a significant milestone for the band, showcasing their technical mastery, songwriting prowess, and undeniable stage presence.
With roots deeply embedded in the golden age of heavy metal and inspired by legendary acts like Megadeth, Metallica, and Judas Priest, Deathnir blends classic thrash with fresh, modern elements, influenced by their diverse cultural backgrounds. Comprised of brothers Andrew (Drew) Carter (vocals, guitar) and Adam Johnson (bass, vocals), along with Raana Paterson on drums, Deathnir’s sound is a reflection of their unique fusion of Scandinavian and Māori heritage.
Founded in 2013, Deathnir quickly gained attention with their explosive debut album Die By The Axe (2015), followed by Second Sin (2018). After several international tours, the band has honed their craft into an unstoppable force. Their newest offering, Where The Wicked Meet , was engineered by award-winning producer Dave Rhodes, who helped the band capture their finest sound yet.
“We are beyond excited to share Where The Wicked Meet with the world,” said Drew Carter. “This album represents the culmination of years of hard work, growth, and dedication. It's our best work yet, and we can't wait for the fans to hear it!”
The album features 10 scorching tracks, including the band’s most streamed song to date, Te Kiwi . A dual-language metal anthem sung in both Māori and English, Te Kiwi highlights the band’s commitment to representing their heritage while delivering a blistering thrash metal experience.
The best places to get the album are Bandcamp, iTunes, and Amazon Music. The album is also available on streaming services, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Pandora, Boomplay, Deezer, and Tidal. https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/deathnir/where-the-wicked-meet
