Death metal band Nawabs of Destruction are back with their second single "Leviathan" from their highly anticipated sophomore album 'Psychogenesis', slated for release later this year. The band's unique blend of death metal and Eastern classical music sets them apart, as they continue to push musical boundaries and experiment with new sounds.
Speaking about their creative process, Shah explains, "We don’t really have a specific creative process. We always go with the flow... We tend to draw a lot of inspiration from Eastern classical styles of music, which complements our sound very well, since Taawkir has been trained in Eastern classical disciplines of music since childhood." With guitarist Taawkir at the helm, the band carefully crafts each song to create a distinct and immersive experience for listeners.
"Leviathan" holds a special meaning for Nawabs of Destruction, as it is their first track featuring live drums by the renowned Chason Westmoreland, known for his work with bands like Hate Eternal, The Faceless, Burning The Masses, Cambion and Demon King. The band's excitement is palpable, as they prepare to introduce their fans to a richer, bolder sound that incorporates elements from their subcontinent's musical heritage.
The single delves into the dark and apocalyptic themes of the mythical sea serpent, Leviathan. Shah explains: "The lyrics of the song describe the power and destruction of Leviathan, the serpent god of the sea." This powerful, evocative imagery is sure to resonate with fans who appreciate heavy instrumentation, harsh vocals, and fast-paced tempos typical of death metal.
Additionally, the vivid, imaginative language used in the lyrics will appeal to fans who enjoy exploring fantastical and mythological themes through music. Nawabs of Destruction are confident that their fans will appreciate the song and connect with its story: "We strongly believe that our fans who are well accustomed to our musical style and our way of storytelling will surely dig this song and appreciate it."
"Leviathan" is more than just a tale of destruction; it is a metaphor for the cyclical nature of life and the need for balance, renewal, and change. As the band continues to evolve and experiment, they invite their fans to join them on this powerful and exhilarating journey, offering a fresh take on death metal that transcends genres and breaks new ground.
