“Zero Hour” is upon us! Cantervice is ready to drop their bombshell debut album.

Releasing with the album pre-order announcement is “Enemy At The Gates”. The track is a hair raising turbulent dive into the deep dark recesses of the future. Energetic and fierce the song possesses every hard core quality fans have come to love from the band. With vocals that continue to oscillate between brutal and powerful, threaded into thrashing guitars, and heavy beats, Cantervice’s ability to merge heavy instrumentation with deep narrative will not be denied. “Enemy at the gates, won’t you let us in?”

Cantervice steps up with a dark vision of the dystopian future with “Zero Hour”. “We stand on the precipice of an era where the shadows of oppression grow larger with every passing day. The world as we knew it is gone. Someone hit the reset switch and there were those standing by waiting to take advantage of the chaos,” explains Cantervice. Using an electrifying fusion of metalcore, alternative metal, and hard rock, Zero Hour features ten metalcore/alternative metal tracks and is testament to Cantervice’s ability to blend fierce energy with intricate musical compositions. Tracks like “The Masquerade” have already amassed over one million streams across all platforms since inception. The album is packed with powerful anthems that push the boundaries of metalcore, alternative metal, and hard rock. With synthesizers, thrashing guitars, pounding drums, and driving bass lines, Cantervice delivers a relentless sonic experience that is both innovative and intense.

Singles like “Doomsday” produced, mixed, and mastered by RIAA Gold and Billboard charting producer/engineer Cameron Mizell, best known for his work with Sleeping With Sirens, Memphis May Fire, I See Stars, and The Word Alive set a high standard for the album. “What I love most about the album is the experience it provides,” explains Cam Mizell. “Robert & his team did a fantastic job creating a theme/vibe/world that the listener can immerse themselves in. Futuristic & perhaps post or pre apocalyptic themes are carried throughout the album in a way that tells a much larger story. A relatable story. As you listen through & connect with Robert’s lyrics, you really start to feel that you are living in the world of Cantervice. My goal was simply to catch that vibe & amplify it Big thanks toCantervice & FiXT for having me on this album! It’s been a pleasure front to back. Enjoy!!!”

Other stand out compositions on “Zero Hour” include “Into The Dark” which portrays a character who descends into the depths of madness and isolation in a society on the brink of collapse; and “The Masquerade” which establishes its strength with a fierce layer of synthesizers, coupled with the thunderous rhythms, razor-edged guitar riffs, and brutal vocals; and alt-metal single “Blackout” described as an anthem for a rising generation picks up the dystopian-themed story from the citizens’ point of view. This debut album shines with Cantervice’s unique blend of hard-hitting music and poignant lyrics, a perfect example of sonic story telling at its best. The band goes on to explain: “We’re now staring down the barrel of a future that threatens to annihilate our very humanity. We sacrifice privacy for convenience, freedom for the illusion of security, and our very lives are mirrored in cyberspace, available for anyone to exploit, whilst we’re too distracted by our modern vices to care. However, I stand before you to say that our destiny is not written in stone, but only if we stand not as victims, but as architects of our future. We must unite, and not under the banners that you see to the left and to the right, but as citizens of the Earth forging a new path together. Lift your heads and join us in bringing the dawn of a new era. We have worlds to win, and nothing left to lose. This is our new beginning. This is our Zero Hour.”

The next instant gratification single, “Point of No Return,” will be available on September 10th. The full album, including the focus track “Artificial Minds,” drops on September 27th.
