Following the previously-released, first album single “Architects Of The Silent War”, today, the band strikes hard with a crushing video clip for their brand new single “Symphony Of Twisted Souls” – a track that once again couldn’t be more relevant in today’s turbulent times. Blending razor-sharp riffs with relentless thrash metal energy, the song captures the brutality of war while channeling it into pure headbanging power.
Guitarist Magnus Söderman sums it up: “Another song with a war theme. This one is metaphorically dealing with the cruel world on the battlefield and how soldiers have to adapt to this. The ongoing war in the Ukraine was the inspiration. The main riff here gets you going and you really wanna bang your head to the rhythm!”

MEZZROW built themselves a name in the Thrash Metal scene during the late eighties with their demo tapes, “Frozen Soul” and “Cross Of Tormention”. In 1990, they released their classic debut album “Then Came The Killing” through Active Records (CANDLEMASS), a subsidiary of Music for Nations.
During 2021 MEZZROW rose from the ashes, when bass player Conny Welén (ex-HEXENHAUS) and singer Uffe Pettersson (ex-ROSICRUCIAN) decided to make a new mark in the Thrash Metal world of today, together with new guitarists Magnus Söderman (NIGHTRAGE) and Ronnie Björnström (ex-DEFIATORY, ex-AEON), as well as drummer Alvaro “Alvis” Svanerö (IMPERIAL DOMAIN). Following their comeback album “Summon Thy Demons” (2023, Fireflash Records) and “Keep It True – Live” record, MEZZROW started writing material for their third album. Eight new songs were later on chosen to become “Embrace The Awakening”, a Bay Area Thrash Metal monster made in Sweden.
Uffe Pettersson says: “We wanted the new album to sound a bit more straightforward without stepping away too much from ‘Summon Thy Demons’. We feel that we’ve achieved that and at the same time kept our roots intact!”
