EXTERMINATUS RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "COSMIC DISTURBANCE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Pioneers of technical death metal, EXTERMINATUS, are thrilled to announce the release of "Cosmic Disturbance," the lead single off their upcoming album Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1. Accompanied by a visually striking music video, "Cosmic Disturbance" is now available across all major streaming platforms.

"Cosmic Disturbance" sets the tone with its ominous bass intro, serving as the calm before the storm. This track quickly escalates into a sonic onslaught of driving drums and frenzied guitar work, featuring heavy, articulate play with bursts of trem picking and blast beats. The music captures a feeling of urgent intensity, mirroring the song's narrative content and culminating in an outro that demands repeated listens.

Uniquely positioned as the opening track of the album, "Cosmic Disturbance" also marks the narrative’s end, exploring the cyclical and holographic nature of our universe. The song thrusts listeners into the perspective of the protagonist who awakens in an alien realm, outside of time and space. As he witnesses the big bang and the subsequent evolution of the universe, he comes to a chilling realization about his existence and the simulated reality governed by an infinite computer, where the speed of causality is capped by the speed of light.

Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1, set for release on April 18, 2025, marks a bold continuation of EXTERMINATUS's journey into the realms of technical death metal with a cosmic twist. This album, meticulously crafted over years, delves deep into the themes of creation, the cyclical nature of existence, and the profound implications of a universe more holographic than previously imagined. Through a blend of ferocious riffs, complex drum patterns, and atmospheric storytelling, EXTERMINATUS not only explores the technical boundaries of their music but also crafts a narrative that challenges the listener's perception of time and reality. The album promises to be a significant milestone in their discography, offering an intense auditory experience that encapsulates the band's evolution and their philosophical inquiries into the cosmos.

About EXTERMINATUS:

Since their formation in 2013, EXTERMINATUS has evolved into a dominant force within the technical death metal scene. Their journey began with the debut album Veni Vidi Vici, which immediately set the tone for their aggressive style characterized by rapid-fire riffs, relentless drumming, and devastating vocals. By the time their second album Laniakea was released in 2018, EXTERMINATUS had firmly established themselves not just as a project but as a mainstay, pushing the boundaries of technical death metal.

The current lineup features the dual-guitar attack of Tabreez Azad and Elia Baghbaniyan, combined with the unstoppable rhythm section of Max Sepulveda and Lucas Abreu, and the ferocious lead vocals of Luka Bresan. This potent combination creates a sound that is both brutally precise and expansively atmospheric, drawing comparisons to luminaries like Aeon, Decapitated, and The Faceless, yet with a distinct identity that is entirely their own.

Thematically, EXTERMINATUS ventures into the cosmic unknown, exploring vast astronomical themes and the fundamental forces of the universe. Their narratives delve into complex physical phenomena and the chilling mysteries of space, a theme that resonates deeply in their upcoming release, Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1, scheduled for release on April 18, 2025. This album promises to fuse their signature technical complexity with a hauntingly eerie cosmic atmosphere.

EXTERMINATUS's impact on the scene is underscored by their dynamic live performances, highlighted by appearances at festivals such as Armstrong Metalfest and Loud As Hell Festival. Collaborations with notable figures like Andrew Baena, Dean Lamb, and Mike Greenwood have further solidified their reputation, expanding their influence and showcasing their ability to innovate within the genre.

With their intricate compositions, powerful performances, and forward-thinking approach, EXTERMINATUS not only captivates their audience but also promises a continual evolution. As they prepare to release Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1, they stand at the forefront of technical death metal, ready to explore new sonic territories and deepen their exploration of the cosmos.
