Mental Torment: Ukraine Based Death Doom Band Release Artwork, Tracklist & Teaser for New Album EGO:GENESIS

Ukraine based Death Doom Metallers Mental Torment are preparing the release their new album EGO:GENESIS on 29 September. Today, they reveal artwork, tracklist and teaser for EGO:GENESIS.

The album EGO:GENESIS includes 7 tracks about the catharsis that is a person goes through in a moment of despair and hopelessness, searching for answers to eternal questions, resisting the inevitable and final acceptance of their fate. The album will bring a fresh view on the traditional Doom Metal genre – from acoustic ballads and funeral vibes to sludgy and modern progressive music.

The band explains the artwork of EGO:GENESIS: “The cover is an image of the end of a person’s journey. This is a metaphorical scene of transition to another stage of being. The cover shows a man wrapped in the waves of a river that will take him to another world through a shining passage. And the girl is like a goddess of fate, ready at any moment to cut the thread of life that has appeared before her.”

Visualis: New Single Delirium, Artwork & Tracklist for Upcoming EP Sunrise In Black Revealed

Today, Sydneysiders Visualis are proud to release the new single Delirium on Spotify &  YouTube. The single is a teaser to increase the fans’ appetite for the upcoming EP Sunrise in Black.

Visualis began recording Sunrise in Black back at the end of 2019 with Geoff Lee at Zen Studios (St. Peters, NSW). Its initial release date was March 2020 but due to the global Covid 19 pandemic, Visualis decided to push it back. In August 2020, Finley Ford joined the band as the drummer and in the beginning of 2021 Visualis completed the recordings. The EP Sunrise in Black will be independently released on 30 July 2021.

Vocalist & Bassist Zoran about the EP: “‘Sunrise in Black’, our debut EP includes songs that show our band’s diverse range of Metal influences. The songs go from slower doom style riffs to more melodic faster parts. The lyrics cover a wide number of topics and themes including: extremism, war, internal struggles, isolation, war, life, death… We are incredibly proud of this EP that showcases our diverse backgrounds and musical influences.”

The EP was mixed and mastered by Luis Echegollen (Metanoia Records, Mexico City). The resulting outcome is a very professional sounding EP that the band is incredibly proud of. The sound Visualis achieved in this EP is a good example of all the influences the band members have, and their own idea of not being tied to a specific Metal sub-genre.

The EP consists of seven tracks in total at a running time of a little over 30 minutes.

Tracklist

1. Dive into…
2. Delirium
3. We are the Disease
4. Decay
5. Doom Arise
6. The Search Relentless
7. Sunrise in Black

Bio
Hailing from Perth, Western Australia, the most isolated city in the world, five-piece heavy metal band Innasanatorium were spawned over a mutual love of diverse heavy metal music. Innasanatorium was founded in mid-2018, by Kelvin Edward Whitwell (aka: Justin$anity) and featuring past and present members from Medusa’s Gaze, Suffer In Rot, Sheol of Abbadon and Rapid Fire. This new band has come out of the blocks with all guns blazing and are now ready to take their unique brand of progressive thrash metal to the masses. Innasanatorium draws on many influences to create an inspiring brand of riff-based and message-driven progressive thrash metal, that draws heavily on both old school and new school inspirations.

Much of their lyrical content is inspired by real-life events and although chief lyricist Adam Bomb draws heavily on global issues such as corruption, politics and religion, this band are passionate about all forms of mental health (ie decline, recovery) hence the name (a play on words describing one’s Inner sanatorium). A large part of their musical scope deals with mental health decline and is tailor-made to get the listener thinking and hopefully talking about these very real issues. This is thinking man’s metal that is thought-provoking and message-driven.

The music that this band creates is equal parts passionate and technical while being emotive and powerful. It’s designed to make you feel uncomfortably comfortable, with the pain and joy in both the light and the dark. There is certainly a lot to like about this band, with tasty riffs aplenty courtesy of riff machine dual guitar combo Ryan and Rapid laying down a solid foundation for Adams soaring vocals and powerful lyrics.
