New York, NY (Top40 Charts) SORXE have announced details of their upcoming album, due to be released via Prosthetic on October 20.
The Ark Burner is the follow up to 2017's acclaimed Matter & Void, and is a combination of heavy, thought provoking metal, woven through with intergalactic cosmic beauty.
SORXE's Tanner Crace comments:
"This album is the culmination of what we currently consider our finest work yet. We really set out to push our creative forces to the threshold of our collective comfort zone, but we did so in a very organic way; many of these songs were developed from improvisations in typical Sorxe fashion. They weave you through a vast emotional landscape - the attentive listener can expect to be transported from the sewer depths of hardcore and gutter punk sludge, bubbling molten lava lakes of pop synth electronic acid frenzy to the peaks of the Psilocybin laced ice mountains with impending avalanches. In the words of Hunter S Thompson -'buy the ticket - take the ride.'"
A process of evolution is necessary to conjure up the cosmic forces required to elicit a new SORXE record. Each track is honed, formed, stripped down then built back up, shapeshifting all the while; once the magic formula is hit upon the ingredients - home baked in the hot Arizona sun - are committed to tape.
The six track album was crafted over four years before the band self-recorded the fruits of their labour. Matt Bayles (Russian Circles, Botch) handled the mix, whilst Brad Boatright at Audiosiege mastered the final album. The album artwork - created by former bassist
Christopher Coons - helped inspire the title track lyrics, eliciting 2001 Space Odyssey vibes as we follow this Phoenix-based ensemble through the wormhole.
The Ark Burner will be available on vinyl in the following colourways: clear (250), Opaque Yellow w/ black, white and red splatter (250); as well as digitally. More information, including pre-order details will follow.
