TERROR EMPIRE release new song “Snake Nest”

Portugal’s TERROR EMPIRE kick off 2020 with fresh new music. “Snake Nest” is the first of a series of singles to be released during the year, in order to celebrate more than 10 years of heavy music.

While the pace and riffery is still fast, there’s a new dimension to the Portuguese band that make the band sound a little bit different. This new song is somehow more direct and straightforwad, and adds a ton of weight to riffs that just sound massive. Ricardo Martin’s vocal performance has also upgraded for these new tunes, with catchy choruses that you can sing along to without losing their fed-up edge.

As for the lyrics for Snake Nest, the vocalist sums up.

“They are all about power and betrayal; about those who do try to make a change but are stabbed in the back during the process”

The main songwriter and guitarrist Rui Alexandre says he…

“Tried to write riffs that would sound huge, a soundtrack to you breaking your neck”. There’s still plenty of blast beats, “but everything is so raw and there’s this strong and powerful energy that gets you hooked in a way that traditional thrash just doesn’t seem to do”.
