With their latest single, “Bullet To A Pharaoh”, Australian metal heavyweights Teramaze unleash a riveting blend of unrelenting metal riffs and unexpectedly infectious hooks. Mastered by industry legend Ted Jensen, known for his work with Metallica and Alice In Chains, the track doesn’t just follow the band’s well-received album Eli: A Wonderful Fall From Grace, it elevates their sonic journey into thrilling new territory.
Opening with a barrage of ferocious guitar work, “Bullet To A Pharaoh” pays homage to the band’s riff-driven heritage, recalling the intensity of their 2012 album Anhedonia. Yet, this isn’t merely a nostalgic nod; the track pushes forward, embracing dynamic, arena-ready choruses that prove Teramaze can evolve without sacrificing their roots. Dean Wells, the band’s founding guitarist and singer, describes the song as the beginning of a transformative era,
“It’s one of many tracks we’ve written for what could be a double album… adding more of our metal side into the new material has pushed us to think and create differently.”
That fusion of raw metal energy with refined songwriting showcases a maturity that’s as fearless as it is invigorating. The interplay between intricate guitar riffs and Dean’s soaring vocals creates a listening experience that’s both aggressive and melodic, capturing Teramaze’s essence while hinting at a promising future.
If “Bullet To A Pharaoh” is any indication, Teramaze fans are in for an electrifying ride, as the band continues to shape their legacy with ambition and conviction.
