Swedish melodic death metal band Sailor Hunter is set to release a new EP ‘Evolution’ on May 24th 2024 via Finnish Inverse Records .
This EP is about humans’ complex history of adoption. Over time, our species has developed advanced cognitive abilities, language and complex social structures.
However, the same intelligence that has allowed humans to thrive also poses the potential for self-inflicted destruction. The rapid advancements in technology, coupled with environmental pressures, present challenges to the sustainability of human civilization. For example, the development of autonomous weapons, powered by artificial intelligence, raises concerns about the potential for these systems to act beyond human control. How can humanity, nature and innovation coalesce into a symphony of balance?
Hailing from the vibrant metal scene of Sweden, Sailor Hunter emerged as a one-man online project orchestrated by the skilled guitarist Al Rinald. Drawing inspiration from the mighty Gothenburg metal sound, infused with symphonic orchestration, American groove metal vibes, and a dash of Mediterranean influence, Sailor Hunter quickly became a force to be reckoned with.
The journey began in 2018 when Al joined forces with powerhouse drummer Kutte Gashi, laying the foundation for what would evolve into Sailor Hunter. Together, as co-founders, they set sail on a musical odyssey that has brought them to where they proudly stand today. In 2019, Sailor Hunter expanded its horizons, seeking out musicians who shared the same vision and commitment to excellence. The result was a powerful line-up featuring the exceptional bass player Filip Jovanov and the dynamic lead vocalist, delivering powerful and emotional performances.
Since 2020, Sailor Hunter has been on a relentless journey, releasing 14 songs accompanied by captivating music videos that showcase their raw talent and artistic vision, delivering also electrifying performances that leave audiences craving more. Despite their success, the band remains humble, pouring every ounce of their being into their music and performances.
As the tides of change swept in during October 2023, Sailor Hunter underwent a significant transformation. Stepping up to the forefront and taking the reins as the new lead singer is the incredibly talented Sebastian, who joined the band, filling the best match for their sound and elevating Sailor Hunter to a whole new level. Sebastian’s addition brought a fresh dynamic to the band’s sound, inspiring them to keep writing awesome kick-ass songs.
Today, Sailor Hunter proudly introduces its official four-man lineup: Al Rinald on guitar, Kutte Gashi on drums, Filip Jovanov on bass, and the dynamic Sebastian at the helm. This formidable quartet continues to pour their collective passion into every note, infusing each composition with heart and soul. Together, they are poised to conquer new horizons and leave an indelible mark on the metal music scene.
Adding to their impressive journey, Sailor Hunter is proud to announce the upcoming release of a new EP slated for 2024. This exciting project promises to further solidify their place in the metal music landscape, offering fans a fresh collection of tracks that exemplify the band’s evolution and artistic growth.
