Progressive deathgaze pioneers KARDASHEV returns with a brand new full-length album, Alunea, set for launch on April twenty fifth on Metallic Blade Data.

The eight sonically and lyrically immersive songs on Alunea have set yet one more high-water mark for the dynamic lineup. Often known as the progenitors of the “deathgaze” style, that descriptor is evolving as KARDASHEV regularly explores and pushes boundaries. “Phrases you can use to explain our music are ‘atmospheric, progressive, emotional, dynamic, and distinction,” explains drummer Sean Lang. “Our music makes an attempt to sonically painting the feelings of anger and sorrow which creates a palpable however pure dynamic distinction.”

Alunea has way more experimentation when in comparison with earlier releases,” says singer Mark Garrett. “It’s a really proggy album.” Guitarist Nico Mirolla concurs, The Almanac and The Baring Of Shadows albums have been the start of growth into the “gaze” facet of deathgaze. KARDASHEV was recognized for his or her sonic similarities to demise metallic, however with Alunea, they’re coming nearer to progressive demise metallic, with leanings within the “gaze” solely momentarily.

Music has all the time been a common language, however KARDASHEV creates their very own lyrical language, including depth and that means. “I’ve beloved tinkering with languages since I used to be slightly child,” says Garrett. “I’m not an skilled in terms of constructed languages, sometimes called ‘conlangs,’ however I discover language to be a very attention-grabbing facet of humanity.”

I used to be dabbling within the beginnings of the language of Alunea years earlier than we added it to our report The Almanac,” he continues. “I’d sit at my desk at work – a name heart on the time – and make up attention-grabbing grammatical guidelines to move the time. One in all my favorites was having the size of a vowel add plurality to a phrase. I didn’t create that idea, but it surely was enjoyable to play with. Years later when Nico and our earlier bassist urged I carry my curiosity in conlangs to our music, the vowel size idea was what I began with. All of it grew from there.”

Alunea is a direct sequel to the occasions of The Almanac and picks up proper the place the tune “Past Solar And Moon” leaves off. Garrett elaborates, “The primary releases in The KARDASHEV Mythos have been broad and conceptual, however they’ve morphed into one thing extra granular and particular. Alunea tells the story of the primary character from The Almanac assembly a being created within the tune ‘Continuum’ from Excipio. Their assembly is a philosophical examination of the place duty and responsibility intersect. We don’t attempt to reply these questions, however we do study them deeply on this album.”

The LP’s first single, “Reunion,” is an allegory for hope. Elaborates Garrett, “‘Reunion’ is a part of the imaginary mythology we’ve got written for our far-off descendants. Tons of, possibly even hundreds of years in the past, our offspring could have their very own tales of how life and society got here to be. ‘Reunion’ tells a chapter on this mythology by which two pivotal figures meet in open air. The principle character from The Almanac, who is called Sky-Brother, has traveled throughout house and time to fulfill a being created by mankind to kind a brand new civilization on a distant world. The observe’s musical DNA is rooted within the sounds of bands like The Contortionist, Cigarettes After Intercourse, and Fallujah, with intense demise metallic aggression, whimsical atmospheres drenched in reverb, and an even bigger than life uplifting melodies. KARDASHEV likes to think about the melodic story as an allegory for hope.”
