It’s official! Methane will be releasing a new single and video for ‘ Thin The Herd’ . We have been teasing Thin the Herd with live videos for awhile now as we have added into our live set awhile back. Thin the Herd is a precurser to a new album to be released 2020 and marks a heavier, more honest sound that we have been looking for.

Thin the Herd will be released on Friday, September 27 through Sweden’s recusant Big Balls Productions. We are extreemely excited to unleash a new tougher , agressive song, it’s been way too long since we put something new out.

Markus and Jonas describe ‘Thin The Herd’

WARNING!
Your minds are being controlled. The human race is infected. The plague is being spread in your social media feed. There is only one cure. No quarter will be given.
It’s time to THIN THE HERD.

We plan to tour extensivly for this song while smithing new plans for releasing more music. We would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our friends and supporters to our release event at The House of Blues in Borlänge, Sweden on Friday October 4. We have invited Incarnit, an energetic hard hitting thrash band to share this night with us, It will be a rager of a party!

In October 2018 Olle Ekman left the band and we have been racing to find a new permanent drummer. Juuso Laukkanen from Estonian groove metalers Intact has been filling in for live duties. But Jonas Arnberg from Fimbultyr ,a Viking Blackmetal band from our area in Sweden, took over for studio details. Jonas not only plays the drums but recorded, mixed snd mastered the sessions at his studio , Sellnoise Studio.

The cover for Thin The Herd was created Indonesian metal artist Eka Saptura for Pzychoart ,who has done work for Suicidal Silence among others. Eka took our vision and nailed to the cross in almost no time.

The cover depicts the lyrical theme of he song blended with gut wrenching colors and crisp apocalyptic graphics giving us a haunting underground thrash metal feeling.

We are looking forward to seeing you guys out on the road this fall and next year.

See you in the pit ~ Tim, Jimi and Markus
