The Orthodox vampire priests Cainites will release the debut album “Revenant” on the 21st of June through Scarlet Records.

Cainites is the name of the new melodic death metal duo risen from the ashes of the Italian gothic-doom masters Motus Tenebrae and founded by Andrea Falaschi aka Frater Orion (Deathless Legacy), on vocals, drums and keyboards, and Daniele Ciranna, on guitar and bass.

Through their dark, gloomy melodic death metal – heavily influenced by the British and Scandinavian masters with a creepy Mediterranean twist too – Cainites create their own mystique, portraying the bloody mark they have to carry.

“Revenant” is a concept album about an old Orthodox priest who became a vampire against his will. A controversial, cruel and yet fascinating character, oscillating between a sense of abandonment by the divine and the manifestation of a faith that is still present, with continuous pleas to God to stop him from his relentless bloodshed – yearning for a redemption that cannot be reached.

“Revenant” will be released in the following formats: – jewel case CD / – digital

“Revenant” tracklist: 1. Darkness Awaits 2. Theotokos 3. Vampire God 4. God’s Wrath 5. We Lost Our Sanctity 6. Forgive Our Sins 7. Cainites 8. Embrace 9. Forsaken 10. Redemption
