Race of Fates

Race of Fates is the third extended play by American metal group Triple Seven, which dropped August 7, 2020 under Relapse/Scornful VII.

Background & style
Three months following the release of their Narcotics for the Lost compilation, the band had announced a sixth studio album that was in the writing stages. This EP was put together to tide the 7-Ups over.

Containing six tracks, Race of Fates is a project that marks another sonic departure for the act. The EP combines Triple Seven's multi-faceted approach to alternative metal with far beefier thrash and death 'n' roll influences. Compared to Finding Enjoyment in Chaos, there's more cleans from lead singer/lyricist Ash. Rhythm guitarist Chance decided against providing backup vocalizations.
