ANA Releases Symphonic Metal Album ‘Motivated By Death’

by | May 30, 2026

Australian symphonic metal band ANA has released their new full-length album, Motivated By Death, via Eclipse Records. The record arrived on May 29, 2026, delivering a dynamic mix of heavy instrumentation, soaring vocals, and dark cinematic atmospheres.

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, the group identifies their specific style as “couture metal,” a sophisticated take on the genre that balances high-fashion visual theatricality with punishing sonic precision. Fronted by vocalist Anna Khristenko, the band builds their sound on heavy rhythmic foundations and sharp guitar work, resulting in an unpredictable and aggressive musical experience.

Motivated By Death is currently available to stream and download across all major digital platforms. Exploring themes of mortality, vulnerability, and resilience, the new album serves as a bold introduction to the band’s expanding musical and visual universe.

Being a feminist has been normalized as an irregularity through our patriarchal society, so I'd rather be called a "decent human" than a "feminist man". I breathe Metal and Rock and have a screwed-up sense of humour.
