HANNES GROSSMANN Release Music Video for New Single “The Sun Eaters” – Premiering via Metal Injection

One the most prolific and acclaimed drummers in modern tech-metal, HANNES GROSSMANN is excited to offer the first look at his next solo album. The musician has partnered with Metal Injection to premiere the music video for his new single “The Sun Eaters”, which can be found here.

 

The new track is off of Hannes’ new studio record, ‘To Where The Light Retreats’, which will be released independently on June 1, 2021.

 

The highly renowned drummer is best known for his work in numerous bands, most notably the likes of Nercophagist, Obscura, and Alkaloid. Speaking about the new single “The Sun Eaters”, Hannes states:

 

“I am beyond thrilled to present the first song off my new album. It took a lot of work writing, recording and mixing it, but the effort paid off eventually. As a solo artist I aim to create fresh ideas which at the same time carry the spirit of a sound I started with Obscura back in 2009. But the most important thing for me is having fun with it. On this song and also on the rest of the album, I had some help from my very talented Alkaloid bandmates. It’s mind-boggling how Danny Tunker (Alkaloid guitarist) recreated the guitar solo I wrote almost note-by-note without even a sweat.”
