Consisting of members Shin, Gyobu, Katsumoto, Kai, and Juzo, Shvriken caught international attention for representing the Philippines at the annual Wacken festival, in addition to a recent show with I See Stars. Now, the Cebu City modern metalcore act snagged Stephen Tan of Filipino group The Rising Tide for quite the fucking attention-grabbing single.
With the energy of Make Them Suffer or Volumes, “Black Sand” conjures contemporary melodies through djent riffs excellently. The vindictive track was mixed, mastered, and produced by Adam Bentley (Arch Echo, Plini).
Also, stellar visuals in the video directed and edited by Alden Panes.
