PRESS RELEASE:
Days away from the album release, Los Angeles’ ANUBIS drop another track with the digital single “Priestess of Dark Paradise” now heard on all streaming/download platforms. Further enhanced the band brings you their first proper music video from the record capturing the band’s live performance by director Kenji Tsunami (Hatchet, Tegmentum, Apothesary). Watch the video HERE https://youtu.be/6rRoUv5QeZo
"’Priestess of Dark Paradise’ is one from Justin's [Escamilla – guitars] songs and given the Anubis treatment, ie; faster, shorter, more solos, and more vocal hooks,” explains singer Devin Reiche. “It’s about the toxic ex who you can’t stop yourself from longing after.”
“For the music video we gave an open call to everyone in our community in order to get a bigger-scale result than what we could achieve on our own, and it's the second time the community came through beyond all expectations. Everyone who shows up to our shoots always brings their metal A-game, and are what make these videos legitimately special."
“Priestess of Dark Paradise” follows up the two earlier advance tracks “Heartless” https://youtu.be/rXBFl4Fogzs and “Devour” https://youtu.be/-xNIBaPbds8?si=x6bbRYTEJRuFYzxt which can all be found on ANUBIS’ full-length debut ‘ Dark Paradise’ out this Friday.
‘Dark Paradise’ will be released on CD, limited colored (300) heartless purple vinyl and digital. Pre-Order now https://lnk.to/anubis
‘Dark Paradise’ was produced by Devin Reiche with the recording taking place at Notes From Underground Studios, with a mix courtesy of Josh Franks (Once Human, Railgun, Highland) and mastering by the famed Mika Jussila (Nightwish, Avantasia, Gamma Ray) in Finland. The album sports fantastic cover with artwork by Adi Dechristianize.
“’Dark Paradise’ marks our inaugural full-length album, and the anticipation is real! We believe this work strongly showcases our distinct blend of lightning-paced thrash riffs and resonant, memorable hooks that you’ve all come to expect from us,” states bassist Will Buckley. “We’re beyond excited to unleash this adrenaline-charged experience straight to your ears, and soon to a venue near you!”

ANUBIS have been building quite a reputation for the past six years. The outfit has been doing it the traditional way by playing shows all over Southern California, self-releasing a consistent handful of EPs & singles and promoting themselves organically not only online but actually getting out there and meeting people. Now armed with a powerful new album ANUBIS have teamed up with M-Theory Audio to take things to the next level.
Singer Devin Reiche may be a familiar name to fans of thrash and underground metal as he’s also the bassist in Bay Area thrashers Hatchet, but Devin actually lives in L.A. and power metal has always been his first love and calling. Working diligently Devin has developed his vocal abilities and become quite the commanding frontman.
Joining Devin in ANUBIS are guitarists Eleazar Llerenas (Delusional Fate) and Justin Escamilla (Tower Guard), bassist Will Buckley and drummer Robin Salazar (both formerly of Hydera), all musicians who’ve been cutting their teeth in the L.A. music scene. ANUBIS has opened for bands like Raven, Rhapsody of Fire, Warbringer, Heathen, Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens, Allegaeon, Hammerfall, Metal Church, Exmortus, Hatriot, and placing at the Wacken Metal Battle US final.
