Brazilian prog metal act Pentral have dropped the first single from their debut album What Lies Ahead of Us.

The seven-minute powerhouse “Silent Trees” arrives with a Roger Elarrat-directed music video, which you can see below. For What Lies Ahead of Us, the band enlisted the help of Grammy nominated-producer Tim Palmer (U2, Ozzy Osbourne). Vocalist Victor Lima said this about the band’s debut album:

"This album is like a "declaration", conceived well before COVID-19 emerged. But it kind of fits the current reality we’re experiencing. This pandemic is the outcome of the unfriendly way we've been treating our environment and ourselves as well, and it served to expose our insensitivity, our lack of empathy. We are hopeful that this music reaches the ears and minds of folks all over the world, inspiring them to listen, think and act.”

Pre-orders for What Lies Ahead of Us, which arrives on May 7, can be made here.
