Australia’s NOTHING SACRED marked their return in 2021 with the release of their first album in 30 years entitled No Gods and now a year and a half later they are ready to continue that groundbreaking resurrection with the next record Leviathan due out February 3, 2023, via Rockshots Records.
Fans of the band will notice on this new EP that there has been a line-up change that now sees the return of Chris Stark taking the reins as lead vocalist, replacing James Davies. Stark had previously sung with the band for a number of years and has now returned in time to lay down the vocal tracks for their next monster.
The EP Leviathan is a mix of new and older tracks that builds on what the band did with No Gods. It has plenty of riffs, killer solos, and big melodies from vocalist Chris Stark. The EP also includes the song Sudden Death, a thrashy unreleased track that was a mainstay during the band’s live gigs in the mid-’80s plus re-recordings of a few tracks from the band’s first album Let Us Prey and two new songs.
All the new songs were written in group sessions with everyone jamming, throwing around riffs and arrangements into the mix. Overall, the EP is a blend of old and new, and something they could get done without a follow-up taking too long.
The two new tracks Leviathan and Drone are lyrically connected to the Ukrainian war. Check out Leviathan below.
