Chris Davidsson comments on the album release:

”Finally our new album is about to be released! It has been a long process and we are very happy with how it turned out. Can’t wait to hear what you all think about it! The album has a lot of dynamics, reminding about a train ride, it goes fast, slows down, mid-tempo, full on again, and so on. I think it has something for everyone, so jump on board the train and enjoy the ride! All aboard!”

Tommy Johansson continues: ”The song ’Battle Cry’ takes you back to when Vikings sailed the seas in a fast, melodic and sing-along pirate metal tune.
The sound is very much inspired by Running Wild with some glorified elements from the old ReinXeed era. Set your sail and listen to our battle cry!”

Sable Hills Share "Battle Cry" Video — WATCH // "Odyssey" Out This July

NEW ALBUM ODYSSEY OUT JULY 19 VIA ARISING EMPIRE

Sable Hills have dropped the video for new single "Battle Cry," featuring Kenta Koie from the Japanese metalcore band Crossfaith

Watch it Below.

Stream the song at midnight ET tonight here.

The song lives on their new album Odyssey, out July 19 via Arising Empire

"Battle Cry" addresses the fight against complacency and the quest for meaning in adversity, challenging listeners to assess their own engagement with life's challenges. As the song intensifies, it encourages listeners to assert themselves, becoming not just a backdrop of aggression but an anthem for self-expression and resilience.

Sable Hills has captivated audiences with electrifying headline tours like Chaos J.P. 2023, featuring global acts such as Like Moths To Flames and Knosis, led by Ryo Kinoshita, former vocalist of Crystal Lake. This tour marked a significant return to Japan for these artists after a long break.

The band rose to fame with their 2019 debut album EMBERS, earning critical acclaim and dominating Japan's metal and loud music scenes. They shared stages with top Japanese bands like Coldrain and Crystal Lake, as well as international acts like Fit For A King and After The Burial, showcasing their broad appeal. Appearances at major festivals like Bloodaxe Festival and True North Festival have further solidified their reputation.

Their second album DUALITY, produced with industry heavyweight Mark Lewis, was another career milestone. It led to a tour from Japan to Europe, with stops at major festivals like Wacken Open Air in Germany and Brutal Assault in the Czech Republic. At Wacken Open Air 2022, Sable Hills made history by becoming the first Japanese band to win the METAL BATTLE.

In 2023, the band continued their successful streak, selling out their show at Spotify O-WEST and performing at major events like BLARE FEST and KNOTFEST, and returning to Wacken Open Air. Their self-hosted FRONTLINE FESTIVAL at Kawasaki Club Citta was especially successful, drawing nearly 1,000 attendees.
