Having already shared the stage with household names like Metallica, Korn, Stone Sour, Bullet For My Valentine and Amon Amarth, Mexico’s biggest metal export Cerberus are on track for a global takeover, laying waste to the scene this summer with the release of their new album, Fire!, that’s due out on July 12th. 

Today, Cerberus unveils the artwork and tracklisting for the record along with a music video for the first single, “The Ending”.

“This song was the first one to be ready for the album. it’s one of the heaviest and fastest songs we have! It has so much going on that we always thought it needed a strong lyrical theme, so it is about the Stephen King novel, The Secret Window, and it’s about a writer that loses his mind over his wife cheating on him.” –  vocalist / guitarist Paul Wrath on “The Ending”

“This album means a lot to us, our original drummer got back in the band but at the same time our rhythm guitar player quit, so we had mixed feelings throughout the recording, still we’re super proud the way it came out. We had the opportunity to work with people we’ve always admired so much! So that was definitely a dream came true. We knew we needed the best team for working on the best music we’ve done so far. So, we knew we needed to be the best performers we could as well, so we put 110% in every aspect of the recording of this album for it to be the best we could deliver.” - vocalist / guitarist Paul Wrath on the creation of Fire!
