Showcasing their passion for classical music, Los Angeles-based neoclassical Metal-inspired extreme shred quartet EXMORTUS have revealed a new track from their upcoming release, "Ride Forth". In celebration of iconic composer Ludwig van Beethoven's birthday, the band has covered one of his most famous pieces, “Appassionata". Check out the instrumental track's animated video below.
Having previously covered Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata (Act 3)" on their Prosthetic debut "Slave To The Sword", drummer Mario Moreno chimed in on their decision to include "Appassionata" on the new album: "Being classical music fans, we thought it would be cool to do another classical piece for "Ride Forth", and once again we picked something from Beethoven because he’s rad and shreds the keys. What better time to release this track than on the month and guesstimated day he was born?"
