Blackened heavy metal masters CLOAK will be releasing their third full-length, ‘Black Flame Eternal,’ on May 26, 2023! To celebrate this release, the Atlanta quartet is now sharing the blistering first single, “Invictus,” along with a music video! The scorching new video was co-directed by Nic Adams and Cloak frontman Scott Taysom and it can be found here: https://youtu.be/57PaFwxnZrM
Cloak drummer Sean Bruneau comments on the song, “No composition written by the band has so perfectly captured our essence to date. The time spent in isolation allowed not only personal growth, but tremendous reflection on a lifetime of inspiration. The song came together aggressively once we started working on new material, and it was clear that we were approaching things differently this time around. Anger and empowerment were much more evident as opposed to the more melody driven material in the past albums. To us, ‘Invictus’ is a thesis of sorts. It’s everything about who we were before this band and where we are headed together moving forward.”
