“Anthems Of A Dying Breed” was recorded in the well-known Stage One Studio and produced by famous producer Andy Classen! The result are 13 Songs full of energy that combine traditional metal riffs with modern grooves. Brutal growls change with sublime vocals and make the songs a real listening experience. "There was no master plan to direct the songwriting in a particular direction, but it was and is more important for us to act ‘out of the belly’ and still be 'head' in terms of a certain claim to ourselves and not to neglect our musical level. " explains drummer Andy "Black" Flache. To mention a song explicitly is difficult.Supporting the Sea Shepherd organization for years now, "Oceans of Blood" certainly has a special meaning. His concerns about marine and animal welfare are processed in this song, which shows that the songs also have a real message. "Lyrics that unite both the personal human abysses, the desolate conditions on our planet but also the ‘Right now!’ feeling and a good deal of revolutionary thoughts," he emphasizes: Welcome to the darker side! The album is a "mixture of brutality and uncompromising heaviness on the one hand and THE hookline and melody on the other".

"Anthems Of A Dying Breed" breaks the sonic wall like an express train: Female Fronted Thrash Metal at its best
