The metal powerhouse known as Baron Carta are scheduled to release their upcoming EP, entitled Shards of Black, on June 29th. The lead single off of Shards of Black is a song called “Lethality,” which features the metal group’s no-holds barred and electrifying sound and persona, guaranteed to entertain and excite listeners from all over the world.
Baron Carta is a four-member group led by the bassist, guitarist, and songwriter Jono Bacon. Bacon recruited an international group of all-star musicians for this EP, including the frontman of Primal Fear, Ralf Scheepers, the drummer of Anubis Gate, Morten Gade Sørensen, and the guitarist from Kill II This, Mark Mynett. Bacon also recruited Jacob Hansen to do the mixing and sound engineering for Shards of Black, which helped to elevate the group’s sound on their third record.
“For the third Baron Carta record we wanted to really move the needle…but still get laser-focused on our evolving style… Everything sounds tight as hell…heavy, melodic, and some surprises along the way. I can’t wait for fans to check it out!” – Jono Bacon
Shards of Black comes after the success of Baron Carta’s earlier EPs called In a Concrete Room and Step Into the Plague. Baron Carta intends to challenge the music industry’s standards when it comes to an album release and are continuing this trend with the Shards of Black release. In order to craft a more meaningful relationship with their audience, Baron Carta plan on disrupting the two or three year album cycle in order to give their listeners the content they want sooner.
Be sure to check out Baron Carta’s Shards of Black when it is released on June 29th and don’t forget to follow the group on social media to keep up with their upcoming projects and shows!
