Heavy Metal Heroes

Description

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present Heavy Metal Heroes, a special split EP between Peru's HYENA and Japan's RISINGFALL, available on CD and 12-inch vinyl formats.Heavy metal is experiencing a global explosion, driven by underground bands that preserve the legacy of those heavy metal heroes who created eternal anthems. This eponymous EP brings together two bands separated by great distance but united by an unwavering thirst for true metal.Originally from Cajamarca, HYENA returns after a world tour supporting their debut album on DYING VICTIMS, About Rock and Roll. Continuing the spirit that defined their first record, the Peruvians deliver two new tracks as the first attack from their upcoming second album. Brutal and hungry, they raise the temperature with their 80s-inspired style, more anthemic and charismatic than ever.From Tokyo, RISINGFALL continues its ascent with new tracks following their 2022 album, Rise or Fall, and last year's self-produced EP Dungeon's Call. After their performance at the Keep It True Rising Festival in Germany, the band has established itself as one of the true standard-bearers of today's heavy metal. Their two new tracks here offer a dazzling demonstration of old-school metal values, filtered through a unique oriental perspective.Heavy Metal Heroes stands as a declaration of true underground heavy metal: forged in tradition, crossing continents, and kept alive by those who remain faithful to its sound and spirit. To support this release, HYENA and RISINGFALL will join forces for a series of co-headlining shows in Tokyo in June.
