Pioneers of technical death metal, Exterminatus, are thrilled to announce the release of “Cosmic Disturbance”, the lead single off their upcoming album “Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1”. Accompanied by a visually striking music video, “Cosmic Disturbance” is now available across all major streaming platforms.
“Cosmic Disturbance” sets the tone with its ominous bass intro, serving as the calm before the storm. This track quickly escalates into a sonic onslaught of driving drums and frenzied guitar work, featuring heavy, articulate play with bursts of trem picking and blast beats. The music captures a feeling of urgent intensity, mirroring the song’s narrative content and culminating in an outro that demands repeated listens.
Uniquely positioned as the opening track of the album, “Cosmic Disturbance” also marks the narrative’s end, exploring the cyclical and holographic nature of our universe. The song thrusts listeners into the perspective of the protagonist who awakens in an alien realm, outside of time and space. As he witnesses the big bang and the subsequent evolution of the universe, he comes to a chilling realization about his existence and the simulated reality governed by an infinite computer, where the speed of causality is capped by the speed of light.
“Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1”, set for release on April 18th, 2025, marks a bold continuation of Exterminatus’s journey into the realms of technical death metal with a cosmic twist. This album, meticulously crafted over years, delves deep into the themes of creation, the cyclical nature of existence, and the profound implications of a universe more holographic than previously imagined. Through a blend of ferocious riffs, complex drum patterns, and atmospheric storytelling, Exterminatus not only explores the technical boundaries of their music but also crafts a narrative that challenges the listener’s perception of time and reality. The album promises to be a significant milestone in their discography, offering an intense auditory experience that encapsulates the band’s evolution and their philosophical inquiries into the cosmos.
