Bay Area masters of Atmospheric Technical Death Metal FALLUJAH, have released their new album “Empyrean”, through Nuclear Blast Records. The band have also revealed an official visualizer for its new single “Mindless Omnipotent Master”.
Primary songwriter and guitarist Scott Carstairs, comments on the song: “ ‘Mindless Omnipotent Master’ is about the massive, globally-linked systems of technology and society that were created for humankind’s own benefit, but have now grown into self-sustained forces beyond our control. The music sets an appropriately dark tone with four minutes of relentlessly brutal riffs and mechanically sharp precision.”
And he adds about the album’s release: “It feels surreal to finally share our new album ‘Empyrean’ with the world! We can hardly describe the amount of effort, determination and patience it took to arrive at this point, but now that the day is here we can finally say that everything was worth it. Special shoutouts to the fans who have stuck with us for all these years. We hope ‘Empyrean’ can take you on an immersive journey with enough detail to warrant many repeated listens.”
FALLUJAH emerges, post-pandemic, revitalized as they explore new sonic realms and revisit elements of style executed on early records. With an overhauled lineup that includes primary songwriter/guitarist Scott Carstairs and compeer/drummer Andrew Baird and newly added vocalist Kyle Schaefer (ARCHAELOGIST) and bassist Evan Brewer (ex- ENTHEOS/THE FACELESS), FALLUJAH are at a creative peak that’s nearly unmatched in modern Death Metal.
