Our upcoming release “Otherworldly Incarnate is a powerhouse of 6 songs all with different approaches for songwriting while keeping a cohesive and tight sound. We experimented with our writing processes while still keeping the energy and power that the fans love.
Describe each song track by track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY)
Track 1 – Mantra: Our first ambient sampled track, we wanted to have a track to build tension to open our Album and live show.
Track 2 – Welding the Flesh: This song was written with more of an old-school death metal idea with a more modern breakdown. This song establishes the ideas of the album, keeping a driving pace that we open with live, and gets the crowd going right off the bat.
Track 3 – The Traveler: This song is our fan favorite, written with catchy hooks, riffs, and a classic song structure that make it very memorable to our fans.
Track 4 – Viscera Bucket: We took a more grindy approach to this one, and wanted it to drive right off the bat. The fast pace choruses and swingy verses add a dynamic aspect thatâs impossible not to headbang to.
Track 5: – Shrine of Absolution: This is the last song we wrote for the album and we consider it to be the most polished song weâve written so far. It is a good representation of the direction we will be going for our new material.
Track 6: – Unhinged Atrocity: Definitely our most bouncy track, from the bass intro all the way to the slow, heavy breakdown. This track really shows our love of the groove.
Track 7: – Wrath of Acala: The closing track of our album wraps everything up nicely. This song incorporates some more progressive and even funky parts that end nicely with a classic groovy breakdown that leaves the listener excited for more.
