The British heavy metal veterans Mythra, that last month released a brand new studio album entitled “Still Burning”, released a video clip to one of the new songs, entitled “A Call To All”. The video has been directed by Oliver Fowler, and can be seen here:
“Still Burning” is available as a vinyl LP, CD, and digital download, and was released via High Roller Records. “It’s the first time the band has gone into the studio and recorded a complete album all in one go. We flew out to Poland in October 2016 to work with Bart Gabriel as producer. It was a superb experience and we all had a great time working with him. We were totally blown away when High Roller Records signed us to record the album and cannot thank them enough. Their support has been incredible!” says Mythra vocalist, Vince High. “We intended to stay true to our NWoBHM roots and achieved our goal. The eleven tracks have tons of power and energy, twin lead guitar breaks, driving bass, thunderous drums and big choruses. Everything fans would expect from a Mythra album”, he adds.
The album’s cover artwork was painted by Roberto Toderico, an Italian artist known for his previous collaboration with Mythra, as well as with other notable NWoBHM acts such as Tygers Of Pan Tang and Quartz.
Mythra‘s reunion was a major event for many NWoBHM fans around the globe. Their legendary first recording from 1979, entitled , has cult status and stands alongside Iron Maiden‘s “The Soundhouse Tapes” released in the same year. The band has a great legacy, which has inspired and continues to inspire Metal bands across the world – including Metallica, whose members have cited Mythra as one of the influences on their early recordings. Two years ago Mythra released the “Warriors Of Time: The Anthology” album, which featured a collection of classic tracks recorded between 1979 and 1982 along with five songs written and recorded in 2015 following the band’s reunion performances at Brofest UK and the Keep It True festival in Germany, both of which attracted fans from across Europe, the USA and South America.
I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
