Metal Assault Records is stoked to reveal its newest signing, VARKAN, a righteously exciting power metal band from Phoenix, Arizona.
Metal Assault Records first got introduced to VARKAN purely based on the strength of their self-released 2019 self-titled debut effort, which deemed itself to be an instant classic in many ways, highlighting all that is sonically great about power metal, whilst showcasing an abundance of energy, technicality, and most strikingly, the band’s own distinct creative flavor which sets them apart from the hordes of NWOBHM / power metal revivalist bands.
Hot on the heels of this superb debut, VARKAN has now signed onto MAR for their next release, Butcher, featuring two brand new tracks. The title song, which also boasts a guest guitar solo by Jeff Potts (Mantic Ritual, ex-Warbringer) on Side A, and “Fire & Blood” on Side B. Butcher will be released on limited-edition cassette tape and digital download on May 7, 2021. Pre-orders will be launched on March 5, along with the title song premiere, on the Varkan bandcamp store.
