Practitioners of traditional metal, harbingers of doom, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania quintet ARGUS are the axiom of time-honored, classic metal. Since their 2009 self-titled debut, ARGUS has enjoyed critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, warranting multiple European tours, festival appearances and stateside showcases. Their 2011 album “Boldly Strides The Doomed” and 2013 follow-up “Beyond The Martyrs” were equal in measure, showcasing the leather-lunged pipes of Brian “Butch” Balich and an uncanny ability to create memorable, epic songs all within the familiar, lauded confines of tried-and-true heavy metal. After an uncharacteristic four-year break between studio albums, ARGUS is back with “From Fields Of Fire”, set for a September 8 release via Cruz Del Sur Music. It will be the first album to feature guitarist/producer Dave Watson and bassist John Campbell, who join long-time members Balich, Jason Mucio (guitars) and Kevin Latchaw (drums). Recorded throughout various points in 2016 and 2017 at Tonic Studios in Pittsburgh with Watson manning the production board, “From Fields Of Fire” also finds Argus once again teaming up with visual artist Brad Moore for the album’s eye-catching cover art.
