Black Flag, the new full-length from Hungary’s most prevalent metal act, EKTOMORF, will see North American release on September 25th through their trusted label home, AFM Records.

Following their first acoustic album, simply titled The Acoustic, earlier this year, on Black Flag EKTOMORF have returned to their usual destructive ways, once again implementing their groove-laden style their fans have come to expect, yet with more straightforward aggression than they have shown in years. The band’s massive tenth studio full-length was recorded and produced in Antfarm Studios with Tue Madsen (The Haunted, Mnemic, Hatesphere), and comes loaded and cocked with nearly fifty minutes of point-blank brutality comprised of twelve original tracks and a cover of the Foo Fighters hit “The Pretender!” The cover art was created by Tim Eckhorst, who has painted the portraits of all bands who have headlined the massive Wacken festival in recent years.

EKTOMORF have released the second track from Black Flag via AFM Records’ YouTube page. Stream the track “Unscarred” below.

Black Flag Track Listing:

1. War Is My Way

2. Unscarred

3. The Cross

4. Cut It Out

5. Black Flag

6. Private Hell

7. 12 Angels

8. Enemy

9. Fuck Your God

10. Never Surrender

11. Sick Love

12. Feel Like This

13. Kill It

14. The Pretender (Foo Fighters Cover)

Having toured Europe supporting major international acts including Pro-Pain, Fear Factory and more, and after performing at some of the biggest European metal festivals including Wacken Open Air, With Full Force and Summer Breeze throughout their career, EKTOMORF will continue the tradition with more shows and tours in the coming months in support of Black Flag.

About the Author

Paul Ferritto [Fritz]
First off, Fritz isn't my real name. It's a nickname I've had for so long, that I forget sometimes that my real name is Paul. So for all intents and purposes all you fine people can call me Fritz.

Anyway I'm one of the co-founders of Axis Of Metal, which I created out of a love for all things heavy. Admittedly my first foray into music wasn't so heavy. At twelve i developed a love for grunge music, which then lead to a love of classic rock, and punk. Then as I consumed almost every piece of music in said genres I needed something with a bit more intensity, and something more extreme. One day I was walking through the halls in my high school, and i heard music blasting out of someone's headphones, and it was exactly what I was looking for. So after I found out that it was Slayer's "Disciple" I went home that day, and listened to every song Slayer had ever released, and that's how it all started.

So that's my story, so why not go out and listen to me blabber on, on the podcast or go and read what the Axis Of Metal's writing team has to say. Axis of Metal is created by metal heads, for metal heads.
