NEWS: Derelict announce “Versus Entropy”!
Twelve long years and just one stand alone single after their last album “Perpetuation” pioneers of Brutal Melodic Technical Death Metal Derelict have announced they will be releasing a new album titled “Versus Entropy” on 21st June. It finds them joined by new drummer Tommy McKinnon, a man known for his prior works in Neuraxis, Akurion and Conflux to name but a few and is said to explore themes of existential struggle, societal injustice and personal introspection, offering a glimpse into the multifaceted nature of the human experience. To get your frostbitten soul warmed up for that the Montréal natives have offered up the title track, a cut which crosses the territories between technical, progressive and brutal like a vulture in search of prey. Pre-orders are available over at bandcamp.
The band comment: “If someone had never heard Derelict before and wanted to get an impression in one song, this would be the one. It’s melodic tech death with some brutal riff breaks, dueling solos, a lovely clean break, and an epic crescendo. The lyrics are about the human struggle to stave off decay and decline, which of course is impossible, and the toll that it takes.”
