The Phalanx serves as the closing number on the Florida metal band's upcoming 10th studio LP, 'In The Court Of The Dragon', due out this Friday (October 8).
Following the title track and Feast Of Fire, the dark, grandiose de force of heavy metal comes paired with an equally epic fantasy video, which finds the group partnering with the Elder Scrolls Online video game to create the clip. Bassist Paolo Gregoletto said:
"The Phalanx was like an old muscle car sitting in the driveway with no engine. It was a demo from 'Shogun' that had the middle section removed for another song (Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis), demoed again on 'Silence In The Snow' but ultimately scrapped, and now it has found its home on the new album. Once we knew the album was going in a more epic, proggy direction, I immediately thought of the song and pitched the idea to the others. With a few minor changes to some chorus parts, a brand middle section, and the orchestrations from Ihsahn, The Phalanx was reborn. It's got a lot of new and old riffs and I think you should dig this if you liked 'Shogun'."
