Watain announces “All That May Bleed” single

The first single from Watain’s new album, The Wild Hunt, will be released on Summer Solstice, June 21st (see exact worldwide release dates below). The name of the single will be “All That May Bleed”.

The band comments; “‘All that May Bleed’ shows but one facet of a quite diverse album, but we chose this song as a first glimpse into ‘The Wild Hunt’ because of its bombastic lunacy and white-eyed malevolence which could be said to constitute a main foundation for the album. The lyric is an invitation to sacrificial blood letting, ecstatic zealotry and human sacrifice. The salt of Satan in the wounds of Christ!”

Side B will be a track called “Play with the Devil,” originally recorded by the black/heavy metal band TAIWAZ in 1988 in Watain’s hometown, Uppsala (Gottfrid Åhman from IN SOLITUDE participates on solo guitar in Watain’s version).

The single will be released in the following formats:

–Black 7″ vinyl (limited to 2,000 copies worldwide)
–Red 7″ vinyl with sticker (only available from www.wolfwear.net; limited to 500 copies worldwide)
–7″ Picture disc (available from www.cmdistro.com and www.wolfwear.net; limited to 500 copies worldwide)–digital download
