Three years in the making, the time has finally come to complete the set with debut album Altered Realities. A monstrous masterwork of old school extreme metal ecstasy.\"Altered Realities is a product of an ever-evolving journey we have taken as a band, from our start in 2018 and culminating in the album's recording in early 2022,\" reflects lead guitarist Tommy Jacobsen. He is joined in the band by former Nocturnal Breed band-mate Vidar Fineidet (guitar), alongside drummer Cato Syversrud, and bassist \/ vocalist Gravskjender.\"We strive to push ourselves, both in terms of speed and technicality, whilst still keeping a groove and dynamic. Our approach to death \/ thrash is an interplay between fast-paced aggression and a slower, more groove-oriented feel. The lyrical themes of the album mirror events and unrest that happened during the time of writing and is in itself a journey.\"\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl, February 9, 2024","offer_id":45916088303807,"sku":"26af78e1-021b-4a60-89d0-b6474076b8df","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/374c7ac00aec2a763ab45086007ea4fa.jpg?v=1785088046","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/altered-realities-1","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
