2023 release. Four years after the world-wide released and critically acclaimed album Nucleus in 2019 (a re-recording of their

classic hits with English lyrics), leading Japanese Heavy Metal band, Anthem have used the pandemic downtime wisely and are

now ready to unleash their studio album called Crimson & Jet Black.

All songs are once again performed in English, and the album will see a global release. Originally scheduled to be completed in the

Spring of 2022, the band's leader Naoto Shibata, being the perfectionist that he is, decided to enrich the songs' quality even more

and pushed back the recording schedule to Summer / Autumn, so that pure brilliance may unfold.

Just like on past albums, Naoto is the main producer of the album, but this time renowned Swedish producer Jens Bogren, (known

for his work with the likes of Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, Dimmu Borgir and Opeth, to name but a few) who had previously mixed

and mastered "Nucleus", is credited as a co-producer.

Crimson Jet Black is unmistakably “Anthem”, yet it sounds fresh at the same time. The band has proven yet again that they are

one of the world's most competitive Heavy Metal bands, and a force to be reckoned with.

Don't miss their new chapter that has only just begun!!!
