Progressive death metal quintet Alustrium have revealed their new single/video ‘Join the Dead’, taken from their highly-anticipated new album A Monument To Silence, out 18th June via Unique Leader Records.

The band comment: “Conceptually, ‘Join the Dead’ sets the stage for much of the story that is to come throughout A Monument to Silence. It was really important to us that the concept be matched instrumentally and vocally, and the result is a mix of chaos up front and heavier, darker instrumentation later in the song. The lyrics detail feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, as well as the initial consequences of rash decisions made in response. Like the rest of the record, while there is a literal, objective interpretation of the lyrics, we’ve also tried to create something that can be experienced subjectively and be meaningful to anyone.”
