Watch "Creating A King" HERE In an electrifying surge of metal mastery, LUTHARO proudly presents their latest musical conquest, "Creating A King," now available worldwide. This release marks the final single leading up to the much-anticipated album, Chasing Euphoria, set to captivate audiences on March 15th, under the banner of Atomic Fire Records.
Vocalist Krista Shipperbottom enthuses, "Straighten your crown and sit comfortably on your throne because our new single "Creating a King" will have you at the edge of your seat. It's jam packed with soaring leads, racing drums and did we mention a damn catchy chorus?! This song may seem as though it has emerged from a fairytale land but is more than meets the eye. With its main lesson being "knowing your worth and not letting anyone take your power away from you" this song strives to build strength and confidence within people so they can conquer whatever life throws their way!"

About LUTHARO:
Formed in 2014, LUTHARO strive to sculpt an epic sound that sees aspects of power and death colliding, combining artfully crafted melodies, harmonies and precision with hard-hitting power and force. Members Krista Shipperbottom (vocals), Victor Bucur (guitar), John Raposo (guitar), Chris Pacey (Bass) and Cory Hofing (drums) may have found their groove on this new record, but don't expect them to fall into a rut. LUTHARO opens the throttle all the way and barrels forward into new territories.
After releasing two EPs, LUTHARO pulled out all the stops on Hiraeth, the debut full-length album that was released on October 15th, 2021. Following their 2018 debut EP UNLEASH THE BEAST, and 2020 EP WINGS OF AGONY, Hiraeth saw the quintet push their compositional and performance skills further than ever before. What Hiraeth brought forth, Chasing Euphoria now amplifies. Expertly balancing hauntingly beautiful atmospheres with raw power and aggression. A fantastically epic journey that needs to be experienced to be believed.
Recorded by drummer Cory Hofing at Coho Studio, with additional recording by Thomas Ireland and mixing and mastering by Lasse Lammert of LSD Studio, Chasing Euphoria is out March 15th, 2024, via Atomic Fire Records. The band partnered with Niklas Sundin for the stunning artwork featured on the cover.
Prepare your necks for a maelstrom of windmills as Chasing Euphoria is certain to provoke headbanging, boisterous pits and chanting singalongs. An aggressive touring schedule will give you plenty of opportunity to join them for an electrifying evening as the riffs and raucous beats pummel you.
Shipperbottom's earth-shaking vocal performance is impossible to ignore, from her thorny growls to soaring falsettos. - Metal Injection
...The Canadians' self-released debut album is a primarily traditional metal record with bags of melody, shitloads of muscular power and large amounts of virtuoso musicianship....Bridging the gap between ancient and modern with admirable skill, LUTHARO have dropped one of this year's most vital debuts. - Blabbermouth
Gatling gun riffage glues the listener to the wall, practically challenging you not to get out of your seat and bang that head, while huge melodies soar and dive in and out of that furious wall of noise. - Metal Observer
