The modern world may dress itself in its finest attire, hollow glory, golden promises, controlled freedoms, but Sounds of Valor isn’t fooled. With « Don’t Devour the Poison », taken from the album « Liberty or Death », the project delivers a cinematic metal anthem that grabs you by the gut from the very start and never lets go. The guitars crush, the atmosphere swells like a gathering storm, and the lyrics mercilessly expose the mechanics of a culture that disguises enslavement as freedom. Deception comes first : crowns of glory that are nothing but illusions, promises of success that poison the soul rather than uplift it. Then comes the inner battle : that dull, relentless struggle against influences that consume from within. And finally, liberation, the moment one spits out the venom and reclaims their inner strength. The music video, created with the help of artificial intelligence, plunges into striking scenes of addiction to screens, substances, and work, a mirror held up to our times. « Don’t Devour the Poison! It burns your soul inside! Devour the poison, You’ll never be satisfied! » : few choruses this year will have hit with such urgency. A track you absolutely need to hear, and Slash Music was proud to bring it to you first.

Faith, Steel and Freedom
Behind Sounds of Valor lies a vision as sharp as a blade : that of a music driven by faith, freedom, and the conviction that truth is worth fighting for. The project fuses cinematic metal, patriotic rock, and epic soundscapes to produce anthems that are both thunderous and deeply human. Every composition is entirely conceived, melodically and lyrically, by a single creative mind, with AI serving here as instrument and digital orchestra, never as a substitute for the soul of the work. The result ? Music built for those who refuse to bend, who believe in something greater than themselves, and who look to sound for a reason to stand tall.
The album « Liberty or Death », released on January 1st, 2026, perfectly embodies that ambition : twelve tracks, twelve declarations of independence, twelve ways to resist. A record that kicks off the year like a manifesto, cohesive, intense, without an ounce of filler. 2026 has barely opened its doors and Sounds of Valor has already laid its sonic foundations. Keep your ears wide open, this is only the beginning.
