Band Insights on “Reign Supreme”
The band has shared their thoughts about the new single:
David Döragrip (vocals): “This one’s about strength in numbers and opposing false promises and ideals. Stay real, don’t let your fears petrify you. We’ve got the numbers to reconquer the throne!”
Johan Murmester (guitars): “I have been wanting to write a song where you have that right-hand rhythm work on guitar, but still with a groovier mid-tempo feel on drums and bass. Now we have got it together. I also love the mid-section with the more rock ’n’ roll Priest-style riffing (coming via Annihilator, though).”
Conclusion
With the release of Intense Indifference on the horizon, Vittra is poised to solidify their place in the melodic death metal scene. The single “Reign Supreme” exemplifies their unique blend of intensity and groove, promising fans an exciting listening experience. Pre-orders for the album are now available, and fans are encouraged to stay tuned for what promises to be a powerful addition to the genre.
