Following an explosive year of top festival appearances and support shows, UK progressive metal outfit BETRAEUS are set to release their debut EP, Towards The Sun, through Siege Of Amida this November

Since their inception in 2009, Manchester four-piece Betraeus have gone from strength to strength developing their unique blend of atmospheric, progressive, death metal. With the average age of 19, their fusion of chopping riffs and blasting rhythms with intense atmosphere creates an epic metal experience that is mature well beyond their years, making them one of the UK's most exciting underground bands.

In 2010 Betraeus successfully made their way to play the New Blood Stage at Bloodstock Open Air with the likes OPETH, CHILDREN OF BODOM, DEVIN TOWNSEND and more. They also played an intricate acoustic set on the Jagermeister stage at the festival, showcasing the diversity of their music. A year of UK touring and high profile shows with the likes of BLAZE BAYLEY and BEHOLDER followed, with the band most recently destroying the The Pepsi Max stage at Download festival this year.

Scheduled for a November release across all digital platforms, Towards The Sun is an absolute must have for fans of Opeth, DEATH, CYNIC, BLOODBATH and INSOMNIUM, and features two live tracks from their performance at Bloodstock.

Listen to the radio edit of the title track, 'Towards The Sun', now and see what all the fuss is about:
