Tyska metal bandet Mob Rules släpper sitt sjunde album Cannibal Nation den 19 oktober via AFM Records.
Pressmeddelande, ”The CD is a varied, hook-oriented and energetic record. By building their own studio, a whole lot of new possibilities opened to the band. So the Dwelling Mound studio of guitarist Sven Lüdke became the place for Mob Rules to compose their new material. The result: every song on Cannibal Nation appears sophisticated and right on point. From the prog metal-influenced opening track Close My Eyes to the following Lost with its strong hookline, the first single Ice & Fire (inspired by the story of the abducted Colombian politician Íngrid Betancourt), which features atmospheric orchestral parts by Michael ’Miro’ Rodenberg (Avantasia), to Scream For The Sun (lyrically dealing with the first ascent of Mount Everest) and the album’s final song Sunrise, every track was arranged with passion and reason. With Tele Box Fool also a song whose lyrics criticize today’s dull TV/media culture, can be found on the album.”
