INGESTED To Release New Full Length ‘The Tide of Death and Fractured Dreams’ on April 5 Via Metal Blade Records
UK death metal juggernauts INGESTED will unleash their new full-length studio album The Tide Of Death and Fractured Dreams, on April 5th via Metal Blade Records.
Not many top-tier death metal bands can record and release an album a year and follow it with an extensive tour. However, since the release of their fifth album, 2020’s Where Only God May Tread, the band has been on a creative roll where they have produced almost a full record every year, even through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Produced by the band with the guidance of recording engineer Nico Beninato, the record includes a guest appearance by Chimaira’s Mark Hunter for the track ‘In Nothingness’ and Sylosis’s Josh Middleton who contributes to ‘Expect To Fail’ as well as the striking cover art of David Seidman.
Whether pummeling listeners with double-bass rolls, blast-beats, and grinding rhythm; breaking it all down with jagged, staggered riffs, and piercing harmonics; or flooding the mix with rapid-fire bursts of minor key melodies, INGESTED has injected all of their experience, skill, and artistry into the ten trenchant new songs on The Tide Of Death and Fractured Dreams. Where the new album differs from its predecessor isn’t in its brutality or melodicism, it’s in the songwriting and the way the tunes flow together in a way that’s vicious, but not morose.
The band notes: “With The Tide Of Death and Fractured Dreams, we wanted to bring the energy up a bit. As much as we like what we did with Ashes Lie Still (2022), its depressive tone isn’t something we wanted to continue to explore quite as much. There are definitely some dark moments on (Tide), but for the most part, we took a more upbeat approach to the songs this time round.”
In advance of the record’s release, today the band revealed the first single, ‘Paragon Of Purity’ and its accompanying video. The track seamlessly contrasts devastating guitar chugs and a spine-tingling minor-key licks with a wall of blast beats and a balance of intense, dizzying riffs that explore both sides of the sonic spectrum; it’s alternately reminiscent of Obituary and Morbid Angel.
