‘Homo Homini Lupus’ is the band’s new album, set for release on February 23rd, 2024 and the new musical orientation, will mark a new path for Keres, full of interesting nuances, rhythmic brutality, complex drumming, heavy and dynamic riffs and pure demonic vocals.
The band stated:
“‘Homo Homini Lupus’ is our point of view about what we all are, humanity is the biggest plague on earth. Just like parasites, we drain up all the resources just to move on to the next piece of land to consume, in a never ending circle of greed. Over the centuries we killed each other for the most trivial reasons, hiding behind religion, political idiologies, false respectability and many other bullshit with the purpose of justifying what we have done and are still doing. But the truth is that our nature will always lead us to crave what we don’t have, bringing endless conflicts for this thirst of power, which will bring upon us our own demise. In the end, only ruins and dust of what we are will remain, this is our true legacy. We deserve extinction.”
Keres was born in 2015 in South Tyrol (Italy) from the ashes of The Crying of Angels (2004-2015) after the resign of Vender Dantone (Game Over) and Lenny Verga (Howling In The Fog).
With a new name and two new musicians, Keres went straight to the recording studio and the debut album ‘Heresy’ was born with a more modern, brutal and sharp sound than ‘At The Gates of Armageddon’, the previous album released under the previous name, The Crying Of Angels.
‘Heresy’, recorded in Autumn of 2015 and released the following year, is less bound to the black metal roots of the band, direct consequence of the continuous musical evolution/research for new musicians and the personal influence of the founding members, avid music listeners.
The now tight-knit and strong bond among the group members simultaneously increased the quality onstage execution compared to the past line-ups.
In fact, the band extensively searches for live performance’s perfection and enriches the shows with a choreography linked to the themes illustrated in ‘Heresy’.
This whole album focuses on ancient Greek mythology and ancient philosophy, just like the current band’s name.
The current live formation of five members has an incredible impact, having performances often compared to a crazy bulldozer with a sound submerged in blast beats, fast riffs that make people to headbang wildly and mid-tempos creating the ritual-ambience characteristic of the live shows where the screams, sweat and raised horns praise the massacre.
