Critically acclaimed Finnish death metal act De Lirium’s Order is releasing their fourth album “Singularity” on April 26th, 2019, via Inverse Records.
Today, the band releases the title track as a second single. “Singularity” comes with a sci-fi inspired fractal music video.
Watch the music video for “Singularity” below.
Stream the new single on Spotify, Deezer and Tidal.
Guitarist Juha Kupiainen comments on the new single: “In "Singularity" the future and the present are entangled. After the technological singularity, the self-aware AI will be born and this piece depicts his journey from this moment to the very end of the universe when even black holes have ceased to exist”.
“Singularity” is now available for pre-order from the Inverse Records Store, here, or from Levykauppa Äx (digipak and vinyl).
Tracklist:
1. I Have Awakened (Intro)
2. Ayatollah
3. Singularity
4. Surfaced
5. The Billion Year Contract
6. Acoustic Medley
7. Orion’s Cry
8. Piazzolla
9. The End of Time
The album was mixed at Sonic Pump Studios by Tuomas Yli-Jaskari and Juha Kupiainen.
De Lirium’s Order was formed in 1998 by guitarist Juha Kupiainen and today, it is one of the most praised groups in technical death metal. Drawing inspiration also from thrash and progressive metal, De Lirium’s Order is known for their creative, experimental guitar riffs, solos and drum patterns. The current line-up consists of musicians from the acts like Abbath, Omnium Gatherum and Raskasta Joulua. The band’s previous album release “Veniversum” (2012) gets now a much awaited continuum with “Singularity”, which again opens new musical pathways for the band through the album’s futuristic, ambitious concept. “Orion’s Cry” represents the first glimpse into the band’s new approach.
About the concept behind Singularity” Kupiainen states: “We wanted to compose new music that reaches beyond the stars, and thus aligned our thoughts with the concept of "Singularity", both the physical and the technological one when the machines take over. We started our journey to create the most explorative and ambitious album ever to come out from the oven of De Lirium’s Order”.
Artist Hizal Çelik had this to say about his fractal work: “"Singularity" represented a challenge from a visual standpoint when it came to describing an intelligence spanning from microscopic to cosmic in size. The mesmerizing, foreign-feeling natural phenomenon that are fractals work well to help bring this song to life. Given their infinitely looping nature, fractals have no sense of scale, no real start or end; it is just like the intelligent form that the song is about”.
