NEWS: Apogean detail new album “Cyberstrictive”!

A concept record which explores the dark side of technology, shedding light on its poisonous effects on our lives is what Canadian Technical Progressive Death Metal act Apogean have in store for us with their inaugural full length “Cyberstrictive“, an album set for an 8th March 2024 via The Artisan Era. Drawing significant inspiration from Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 and echoing the dystopian excerpts of George Orwell’s 1984, the album finds the band joined for the first time by new vocalist Mac Smith (who recently served as the live vocalist of Decrepit Birth) and also features a guest solo on “Bluelight Sonata” from Alex Baillie from Cognizance. “Thousand-Yard Glare” is streaming now with pre-orders available over at bandcamp.

Apogean comments: “‘Thousand-Yard Glare’ is a story of the damage of overconsumption and the dangers of desensitization in media. The general populace, on a daily basis, is bombarded with endless electronic stimulus, which drastically affects every aspect of our lives and induces a pseudo-PTSD via photo-radiation. This track is incredibly important to us for a multitude of reasons. Being our first single from our debut album, we feel that we had to best represent our musical style, while also encompassing a theme that we genuinely care about; we feel that this offering absolutely conveys Apogean to its most intrinsic roots”
