Following their much acclaimed, self-titled 2017 debut, on June 30th, 2023, sees Australian heavy metal force Night Legion release their sophomore studio album, entitled “Fight or Fall”, via Massacre Records!
As first album single, “The Hounds of Baskerville”, immediately proves, “Fight or Fall” is a no-nonsense return to fast and powerful heavy metal with screaming vocals, crushing guitars and hooks that remind you what great songwriting sounds like. This record is not a happy walk through a forest of elves – this is the battlefield where metal lives and soaring vocals invoke the spirits of what made metal the force it is today!
Watch the lyric video for the new single “The Hounds of Baskerville” below.
“A classic horror inspired track slightly based around the Sherlock Holmes’ ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’, however with a much more dark and brutal twist and in our own way”, the band reveals.
“It centralizes to a small town being terrorized by the local werewolves, with descriptive references. Some people believe it, some people don’t and think it’s a legend we have devised ourselves until they themselves face the terror & wrath. The wolves in this case also represent the 5 of us – we are about to unleash a new record and we have the hunger to unleash on the live circuit!
It’s also inspired by how humanity’s own state of madness can conjure up such evil for the reason to terrorize, deceive and always live in fear. The reference to the chorus ‘Chase the Hounds of Baskerville’ really comes from how we as humans are intrigued to learn more about the mysteries of the world and anything that scares us. It’s a pretty bold, in your face, massive memorable chorus – it’s the run to the hills of the album, I’d say, hence being the first single.
It’s a heart stopper vocally & Stu’s guitar work adds another dimension – this song will play a movie in the listeners head”.
“Fight or Fall” was produced by Night Legion guitarist Stu Marshall, and was mixed and mastered by Chris Themelco at Monolith Studios.
