NEWS: Egres begin data retrieval from the wreckage?

Cinematic Progressive Metal ambassadors Egres have shared an epic five minute long exploration of the impact of memories and remembering on the human perception of the happiness of life lived in “Retrieval“. Touching on the concepts of experiencing and remembering selves, the themes and lyrical narrative were visioned by the cinematic composition. Unconventional structures with semitone progressions grab the listener from the very first beats, leaving us to wonder just how long we may have to wait for a follow up to 2022 debut album “Introspection”.

“It was wonderful to write playful, a little cryptic verses. The lyrics reflect my personal interest towards psychology and draw inspiration from the work of the late Daniel Kahnemann” – Hanna Lahtinen

“Upon hearing the first demo I was horrified by the robotic piano. However, as time went by and the song evolved, I started to feel exalted. Retrieval tells a story which challenges and amazes. Making the video was challenging and physical despite being also fun. In the end I was repeating to myself in what have we done?!” – Tristan Lumme

“The main motifs are this non-stop throbbing rhythm and the sounds of the piano. The guitar solo and the fact that the vocal melody is largely my handiwork are rather exceptional. Retrieval serves as the band’s current trendsetter” – Pekka Virtanen
