“Gruffly tech-ish riffery mixed with passages of spun-out acoustic ambiance” Raz Rauf, Thrash Hits

 

“It’s great to have underground bands like Betraeus breaking through” Johnny Doom, Kerrang! Radio

 

Mancunian progressive death metallers Betraeus announce release party and full UK tour to support their incredible debut EP, 'Towards The Sun', out on 14 November via Siege of Amida Records.

 

The EP coincides with the band's much anticipated video to the title track, and to further wet appetites they have released some insightful behind the scenes footage. Check out the raw sets, props, hilarity and hard work from the band and director Tom Bohan that make up the awesome video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXfHJfkW2s0
