Forty Winters Announces Sophomore Album ‘Rotting Empire’

South Florida heavy metal outfit Forty Winters have announced their new album, Rotting Empire, will be out 7/22 via Dead Truth Recordings. The band is currently streaming the first single / opening track of the record, “Summoning Spirits” in the form of a lyric video.

Forty Winters vocalist Xavier Vicuna comments: “Welcome to the year of Rot! With each release we got more comfortable in our own skin and more willing to take chances, which leads us to Rotting Empire. You can expect the signature FW sound with more of a modern approach, better song structure, as well as more grit and tenacity. It’s pissed, and it’s real. Some unexpected and unplanned touring pushed the release back quite a bit, but we were able to play new songs and hype the impending album so it was well worth it. We always had a vision for our sophomore album, this is it.”

With regards to the first track, he adds: “‘Summoning Spirits’ is a great representation of what people can expect from Rotting Empire. It’s the first single and the opening track of the album. We recorded the album in the order of the track list, it all just felt right.”
