Northern Irish metallers KETOS recently signed to Hostile Media and are now on the cusp of releasing their debut album, aptly titled "First Strike". "The title of the album is a reference to that of a nuclear attack", states guitarist Keith HD. But it's by no means a concept album, Keith adds that "each song can stand on its own, and each song has something different to say. The lyrics do not follow any formula, some are written metaphorically such as "Escape The Chains" and "The Lost Ones", and some tackle topics head on such as "Temptations" and "Harmacist". A variety of different topics are covered, from the religious oppression and covered up abuse, to addiction and the pharmaceutical industry."
Drawing influence from a broad spectrum of genres and bands such as PARKWAY DRIVE and CHILDREN OF BODOM, KETOS have focused on creating catchy, heavy yet melody driven songs littered with slick and intricate lead guitar work.
