It has been announced that Watain's first single for their new album The Wild Hunt will be released on Summer Solstice, June 21st. The single will be called All That May Bleed, it will be the first taste of the new album and you can see its cover artwork right here created by Bp. Necropolitus Cracoviensis Zbigniew Bielak II.

The black metal band comments: "'All That May Bleed' shows but one facet of a quite diverse album, but we chose this song as a first glimpse into The Wild Hunt because of its bombastic lunacy and white-eyed malevolence which could be said to constitute a main foundation for the album. The lyric is an invitation to sacrificial blood letting, ecstatic zealotry and human sacrifice. The salt of Satan in the wounds of Christ!"

Side B will be track called "Play With The Devil" originally recorded by the black/heavy metal band Taiwaz in 1988, in Watain's hometown Uppsala. Gottfrid Åhman from In Solitude participates on solo guitar in Watain's version.

The album itself will be released on August 19th in Europe and August 20th in North America via His Master's Noise in collaboration with Century Media Records.
