London modern metal band, URNE, – Joe Nally (bass, vocals), Angus Neyra (guitar), James Cook (drums) and Kurtis Bagley (guitar) –have released new single, ‘The Spirit, Alive‘, taken from their forthcoming studio album, Setting Fire To The Sky.
“We are proud to present ‘The Spirit, Alive’, the third single from our upcoming album ‘Setting Fire To The Sky'”, Says Urne frontman, Joe Nally. “This was the very first track we started writing for Album 3. From the beginning, we knew we wanted this record to feel uplifting, this track became a gateway to that vision.
This song is about hope, the human spirit, and a fire that never goes out – what better time to release it than Bonfire night?! Listen to this loud and keep the spirit alive!!”
Watch ‘The Spirit, Alive‘, HERE.
Setting Fire To The Sky, – due for release on January 30thvia Spinefarm – whips up a firestorm of grit, swagger and grandiosity. Produced by SikTh co-vocalist Justin Hill, mixed by Johann Meyer (Silvercord Studio), and mastered by Tony Lindstrom at Fascination Street Studio, snarling hardcore, extreme inflections, and a strong sense of heavy metal’s inherent classicism, all burn together within Urne‘s burial chamber, propelling the band forward.
“I feel like I’m in Metallica in 1988 with what we do,” says Nally.
Guesting on the record, you’ll hear innovative cellist Jo Quail appear as part of melancholy album closer ‘Breathe’ whilst the nine-minute-plus undulating epic, ‘Harken The Waves’ – released as a single earlier this year – features guest vocals from Mastodon‘s Troy Sanders.
