CHTHONIC, Taiwan’s premier metal warriors, have confirmed the release of a new digital single via Spinefarm Records UK.

A cover of the Judas Priest classic ‘Painkiller’, originally released in 1990, this version will be issued on September 13th with ‘Bloody Waves Of Sorrow’ as the bonus element; the latter is a track from the band’s current album, ‘Mirror Of Retribution’, but here it is included in its original guise, complete with Taiwanese vocals.

Chthonic return to the UK in November with a series of re-scheduled dates guesting with Arch Enemy.

23rd Nov – MANCHESTER, Academy 2

24th Nov – GLASGOW, Garage

25th Nov – WOLVERHAMPTON, Wulfrun Hall

27th Nov – LONDON, Kentish Town Forum

Also on the bill will be Grand Magus & Malefice.
