NEWS: Sargassus release themselves from Gravity!

Inverse Records have announced that after the success of EP “King of the Sun“, Finnish Progressive Death Metal act Sargassus have prepared for us a debut full length album in “Vitruvian Rays“. A first single in “Spirit of Gravity” has arrived in music video form, introducing ew bass player Mertta Halonen as well as a heavier sound. Thematically the track orientates around themes of rebirth, Nietzschean philosophy and conformity. The lyrics are structured like an occult ritual of
renewal, where the participants ingest poisons to break free from a circular existence, but in typical Sargassus fashion the ritual is likened to a wildly inebriated communion. Structure and sincere practices are mirrored with chaos and natural human perversion, masking philosophical ponderings about the eternal recurrence and life’s immanent worth.

The band comments: ” ‘Spirit of Gravity’ is no doubt Sargassus’ heaviest song to date. While the song might showcase clear modern black metal influences, it is not without groovier and eerily calming passages. The chaotic nature of the song may partly reflect the whims of the band itself, but this oppressing feeling is also a key theme on the rest of the upcoming album. ‘Spirit of Gravity’ tells the story of an ecstatic ritual in occult fashion, while reflecting on philosophical aspects of eternal recurrence and life’s immanent worth.”
