It might be their biggest year yet: After announcing their signing to label Century Media Records last year in September and releasing two hard hitting singles, Pridian are not slowing down anytime soon. The band from Estonia is delivering their third single with “Out For Blood” while continuously teasing their upcoming album, which is set for a spring release this year.
“Out For Blood” equals almost a battle cry with its raw, hard-hitting lyrics which encapsulate a relentless pursuit of justice while overcoming influences and perception from the outside world. Musically, the track captivates with a chaotic nature through its energetic riffs paired with EDM-style synths. Atmospheric elements such as the almost robotic voices create an addicting dynamic and relentless energy that makes one want to see this song come alive live. “Out For Blood” showcases that Pridian are not afraid to get a bit more experimental with their sound. With “Near Dark” and “idoldust” released prior, fans of the genre can keep their anticipation for this record high.
About Pridian
Initially formed in 2018 by guitarists Jörg-Erik Hanikat and Martin Randalu, drummer Robert Leht, and completed by singer Laur Lindmäe, who joined in 2021, Estonian band Pridian quickly evolved their very own style and take on modern metal. Having released an album called “The Rotten Unknown” under their name ÆØNS in 2021, the band was nominated for the “Metal Album of The Year” at the Estonian Music Awards and built the foundation of what‘s to come under their new name. Rebranded as Pridian, the band released their debut EP “Cybergnosis” in the fall of 2023 and constantly elaborated their unique sound. Their modern take on industrial soundscapes, metalcore, and catchy hooks made them known in the rising Estonian metal scene and beyond. Just one week before opening Sunday‘s mainstage at the infamous Euroblast Festival in Cologne – their first-ever performance in Germany – the band announced their signing with German metal label Century Media Records to release their brand new single “Near Dark”, embarking on a new chapter of the band‘s history.
