Angus McSix reveals the epic new single, “
I Am Adam McSix”, cut from the band’s upcoming sophomore album,
Angus McSix And The All-Seeing Astral Eye, out March 13 via Napalm Records.
The track gives the band’s new main character,
Angus McSix’s brother
Adam McSix, space to introduce himself, with his heroism further praised by a feature from Italian symphonic power metal pioneers
Rhapsody Of Fire. Also,
Alex Krull (
Leaves Eyes,
Atrocity) makes an appearance in the official music video as the
Screaming Cauldron.
Angus McSix is ready to conquer, wielding the power of metal as their mighty weapon!
Now available to pre-order,
Angus McSix And The All-Seeing Astral Eye is an exciting passing of the torch—and a worthy follow-up to
Angus McSix’s chart-storming 2023 debut album,
Angus McSix and the Sword of Power, that instantly rose to the top 10 of the German Album charts.
Angus McSix on “
I Am Adam McSix” (feat.
Rhapsody Of Fire):
The song gives Adam the chance to explain in his own words what sets him apart from Angus. He never wanted to be the shining hero – he has simply seen too much of a world that keeps disappointing him. Glory and heroics no longer mean anything to him. Why should he help those who will only betray him in the end?
In the ‘Screaming Cauldron’, the storylines of Angus McSix and Rhapsody of Fire intertwine for the first time, also featuring none other than Alex Krull, who not only performs the Screaming Cauldron but also lends it his unmistakable shouts. On his journey, Adam encounters the Adventurer (Giacomo Voli, Rhapsody Of Fire) and Vision (Alex Staropoli, Rhapsody Of Fire), with the former ultimately handing him the legendary ‘Rain of Fury’ sword for their shared quest.

I Am Adam McSix” below.
The eleven tracks of
Angus McSix And The All-Seeing Astral Eye feature the band’s one-of-a-kind storytelling, proving even more epic, absurd, and magnificent than ever. Previously released “
6666” still features their now-imprisoned frontman Angus McSix (
Thomas Winkler) on vocals, passing the torch to Adam McSix and placing nothing less than the fate of the universe on his shoulders. “
The Fire Of Yore” bridges the gap between
Manowar,
Modern Talking, and
Electric Callboy and fully opens up the new chapter – Angus, after all, possesses no memory of his previous adventures, leaving all the more room for more lore to be introduced through Adam.
Angus McSix gain further help on their quest from a cappella group
Van Canto on “
Dig Down” and Finnish
Turmion Kätilöt on “
Techno Men”. “
Ork Zero”, referencing their monstrous drummer (
Gerit Lamm, ex-
Xandria), and “
Starlight Stronghold” are electrifying disco bangers, while “
Let The Search Begin” – following instrumental break “
Aetheriyja” – is another true metal hymn. “
The Power Of Metal” adds
Freedom Call to the party before the mighty heroes take their final stand in “
Into Battle”.
Charmingly quizzical and undeniably entertaining,
Angus McSix And The All-Seeing Astral Eye crafts one catchy anthem after another. With rich storytelling and over-the-top pathos,
Angus McSix invite you to pick up a sword and fight side by side with them against ancient powers to fulfill
Adam’s destiny!....Pre-order
