Exterminasus, the technical death metal band known for their intricate compositions and thematic depth, proudly presents the release of their new single “The Signal” from their highly anticipated third studio album, “Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1”. This single is now available with an accompanying lyric video that visually enhances the track’s complex narrative and dark atmospheric tones.
Written by the band’s drummer, Max Sepulveda, “The Signal” stands out as a unique piece within the album. From its compelling intro riff to its ominous and dark outro, the track combines somber tones with energetic bursts, making it one of the most engaging listens on the album. It serves as the perfect conclusion to part one of this cosmic journey, setting a high bar for the forthcoming second installment.
“The Signal” returns to the perspective of the album’s protagonist, who finds himself trapped in the form of a star. Retaining all his memories, he begins to understand how to manipulate space-time due to his Cepheid nature. By expanding and contracting, he sends out a desperate signal across the cosmos, hoping to warn others of his revelations about the universe’s cyclical and infinite nature. The lyrics convey a deep sense of isolation and existential dread, pondering whether his existence might be the very cause of the universe itself.
“Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1”, set to be released on April 18th, 2025, continues Exterminasus’s exploration of cosmic themes and technical prowess. The album promises to blend mind-bending technicality with an eerie, cosmic atmosphere, further establishing the band’s unique position in the metal scene.
