European metal act Silent Alaska have just unleashed their debut 6-track EP "She Reigns Supreme" on January 30th, 2026.

On the new release, the band states:

"She Reigns Supreme" is a conceptual work exploring
the psychological and spiritual consequences of
surrendering agency to a deity. Rather
than devotion, the record examines faith as
erosion: identity thinning under obedience,
and trust becoming abdication.

The band's melodic death metal and metalcore influences are instantly noticeable, but there is also a black metal/thrash fusion that can be heard in their music. The first song, "Fields of Frost," mixes raw screams, ambient atmospheres, and slamming instrumentation to create a heavy sound. The song's chorus features bright guitar melodies and alternating singing/screaming that really brings early metalcore influences to the forefront.

"Muse Of Men" was the band's first single release, and it was accompanied by the band's official video, which you can watch on YouTube below. Where "Fields of Frost" pays homage to classic metalcore, "Muse Of Men" strikes a balance between death metal and thrash with a more intense and hard-hitting overall sound.

Silent Alaska's raw production and fierce screams in tracks like "The Shadows Weave" bring black metal and early thrash inspiration to mind. The band does an excellent job of blending multiple influences and balancing heaviness with grooving riffs and faster-paced sections to create a varied sense of contrast. Silent Alaska also features two vocalists who both do heavy vocals, adding to the sense of vocal dynamics and range.

Overall, "She Reigns Supreme" is an impressive debut release for Silent Alaska and showcases what the band has to offer. Fans of metalcore, death metal, and black metal/thrash should check out the band's EP. You can stream "She Reigns Supreme" available on all platforms now!
