MORE ON II: Grasp Of The Undying:
Groundbreaking virtual heavy metal band PENTAKILL - featuring infernal lead vocalist Karthus, blazing axe-man Mordekaiser, enchanting keyboardist Sona, rumbling bassist Yorick, berserker drummer Olaf, and new member Kayle, a winged warrior goddess who sings songs presaging the end of the world - broke further out of the 100 million-player League of Legends gaming universe and onto the playlists of metalheads worldwide this past summer with the release of their second album, II: Grasp Of The Undying. The album is available to stream via YouTube and the PENTAKILL music landing page here or via major digital streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music and more.
II: Grasp Of The Undying features not only the skills of League of Legends developer Riot Games' most passionate in-house composers, songwriters, and producers (who also happen to be diehard metalheads), but an elite list of metal, rock and electronic music heavyweights. II: Grasp Of The Undying showcases the musical talents of renowned rock/metal vocalist Jorn Lande, songstress Noora Louhimo of Battle Beast, producer Scott Kirkland of The Crystal Method, producer and vocalist Danny Lohner formerly of Nine Inch Nails, world-renowned drummer Tommy Lee of Motley Crüe fame, drummer Mike Pitman and vocalist Rich Thomson of Xerath, vocalist Per Johansson of Ureas, and many more.
There's something for every heavy music fan on II: Grasp Of The Undying - an album that is not only accessible, but will stand up next to any heavy metal artist on your playlist. II: Grasp Of The Undying is a full length, 10-track scorcher of a record - showcasing the multi-faceted talents of the genuine music professionals and avid production team involved, and featuring genre-influences ranging from power metal, NWOBHM, thrash, modern progressive death metal and everything in between - even electronic/industrial!
PENTAKILL Origins:
PENTAKILL was spawned from massive League of Legends fan/player engagement, theories and buzz. Wanting first and foremost to give back to a global community of players, Riot Games and their team of in-house composers, songwriters, and producers came up with the idea to write, record and release a real heavy metal album based on a virtual heavy metal band comprised of members embodied by the original skin line they originated from. In their virtual reality, PENTAKILL is billed as the fictional land of Valoran's most famous rock band.
In 2014, the Riot Games music label issued the band's first foray out of the video game realm, Smite and Ignite - an eight-track collection of appropriately punishing songs that was written completely in-house at Riot, and supported by the talents of studio musicians, including ZP Theart of Dragonforce, Derek Sherinian of Dream Theater, Danny Lohner of Nine Inch Nails, and Jorn Lande. Upon its release in 2014 and with absolutely no traditional promotion, Smite and Ignite went on to debut Top 40 on Billboard and #1 on the iTunes Metal and Rock charts, plus charted top 30 on the overall iTunes charts, in addition to millions of YouTube and Spotify streams.
These numbers alone are a testament to the fanbase supporting PENTAKILL and the authenticity of the music itself - true metal fans know this is the real deal.
