THE BEAST

Today, UK thrash legends   Solitary  reveal the new video   "Abominate."   The video is   the first track to be revealed   from the band's highly anticipated new album,   The Truth Behind the Lies , set for international release on October 23rd via  Metalville Records . Featuring footage from the band's Bloodstock Open Air appearance and the working sketches of the album artwork, see & hear   Solitary 's brand-new video "Abominate"   HERE   at the band's official YouTube channel.

It’s more than 20 five years now since   Solitary   planted their standard and pledged their allegiance to the thrash metal cause. Over the decades, their commitment has been unflinching, their integrity unquestionable, and with 2008's   Requiem  album, they delivered an album to challenge the genre’s best.   Requiem  received great reviews from the major metal press.

The next few years were spent playing live at every opportunity, taking the thrash to the masses.   Solitary   also took part in the Headbangers Balls tour, raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. Having played so many great shows, the band decided to celebrate their 20th anniversary, in 2014, with the release of a live album. The album was called   I Promise To Thrash Forever , once more confirming   Solitary ’s total dedication to pure thrash metal. It was also the perfect way and time to close the first chapter of the   Solitary   story.

2017 proved to be one of the most exciting years to date for   Solitary   – kicking off with the release of a brand-new album,   The Diseased Heart Of Society . With the help of world-renowned producer Simon Efemey (Napalm Death , Paradise Lost, Obituary, Amorphis),   Solitary   had created the heaviest and most intense album of their career. Praise poured in from the world’s metal press, and prestigious shows followed. Ever-present band frontman Rich Sherrington also put pen to paper and wrote the band’s biography,   I Promise To Thrash Forever: The Solitary Story .

The release of a special 20th anniversary edition of   Solitary ’s debut album,   Nothing Changes , followed. Remastered and with some bonus demo tracks, the album saw   Solitary   back in the press.

The final days of 2018 saw   Solitary   return to London, where they joined old friends Lawnmower Deth and Xentrix for a thrashing Xmas classic of a show, ending the year on a real high.

2019 marked 25 years of diehard metal for   Solitary , a quarter of a century of staying true to the principles they hold dear and the music they love.

Such a milestone could not be allowed to slip by unnoticed, and in the summer, the band headed out to Europe once again, to perform at the Aggressive Music Fest. Following that, they returned to the UK for a triumphant performance at the UK’s premiere all-metal festival – Bloodstock Open Air. To coincide with their Bloodstock appearance,   Solitary   also released a limited-edition EP,   XXV .

In January 2020, they returned to Foel Studios, with Simon Efemey once more at the helm. When they emerged, after a grueling work schedule, they had something quite stunning on their hands: an album to eclipse everything in the   Solitary   back catalog.

This is where a whole new story begins... Begin experiencing it with the brand-new video "Abominate"   HERE   at   Solitary 's official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting for  The Truth Behind the Lies  are as follows:
