Entitled ‘Breaking The Broken’, the EP will see release on December 17 via Sonic Velocity Records.


Additionally, the group has unveiled Kurai as the band name.


“Kurai is a term that I came across almost 20 years ago in a Japanese martial arts encyclopedia. It means to achieve a state of mind in which you become one with your art. That really embraces the sentiment of our music and where we are as artists. We want to create music with the intention of stirring up emotion and bringing some raw passion back to metal and we hope that transcends to the listener with this new EP,” Von Heldt said.
