The frontman explains: “In terms of songwriting, the lyrics have become more intimate on “Like Crows for The Earth”, focusing on topics such as loss, solitude and feelings of rejection. The album also deals with social issues, such as mankind’s indiscriminate exploitation of the Earth, metaphorically represented by the crow: if not stopped, this animal poses an undeniable threat to its ecosystem and is bound to destroy all other species.”

Since it’s release in Europe/UK the new album has received some positive reviews:

“Tethra created a varied, juicy piece of work in Like Crows for the Earth. Keeping to their influences, the band composed a unique piece of metal that vacillates between its doom-ish and gothic origins and some very strong progressive undercurrents.” – Rock Music Raider

“Tethra are great sounding melancholic mixture of doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band.” – Doomed To Darkness

“”Like Crows for the Earth” contains that 90’s-oriented doom/death texture that brought many UK and European bands to international acclaim, and hopefully will put Tethra in good standing with followers of this genre.” – Dead Rhetoric

“Fusing elements of doom and gothic metal with just a hint of progressive,Tethra is heady, dark stuff.  Intense and often soaked with emotion thanks primarily to lead singer Clode Tethra, Like Crows for the Earth will worm its way into your thoughts and stick there” – The Burning Beard

“Considering this is rooted in doom and death, this is a joy to listen to, as it is surprisingly diverse, melodic and positive for this genre. ‘Like Crows For The Earth’ highlights that Tethra aren’t afraid to think outside of the box, and for their efforts they should be more widely accepted, as this is more accessible than most doom/death metal offerings, giving it the edge.” – Dark Art Conspiracy

“Like Crows For The Earth” is a very respectable album that has little to envy to other releases of the genre. We can only wish for the Tethra to continue on this road.” – aristocraziawebzine

Tethra last month (June 8th) played a special ‘closed doors’ live streamed show on Facebook, with just them in the venue and as well as streaming it live they left the video up for 24 hours to give others a chance to see it and raise awareness to support the metal genre as well as the important issue of small venues closing.

Tethra are passionate about emerging artists and they were on a mission to increase the numbers of people that attend smaller, club sized venues in not just Italy, but on a worldwide scale, stating:

“In recent years, many small and medium-sized clubs dedicated to metal music have closed or changed their genre because of the low attendance at the concerts.

It’s a global phenomenon that, if it does not have a clear turnabout, will oblige all industry employees to make drastic decisions.”

Post the event the band said:

“Thanks to you for watching our closed doors show, we hope to have you reflected on the bad situation of our favourite music and something can change quickly…before it’s too late.”
