Molten announce debut album ‘Dystopian Syndrome’

MOLTEN have announced their debut album!

Titled Dystopian Syndrome, the upcoming album from the Bay Area-based thrash/death metal band is their full-length debut effort and is scheduled to be released in January next year, via self-release.

The upcoming debut album was recorded and mixed by Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer Studios [ULTHAR, VASTUM, DEATHGRAVE], mastered by Justin Weis at Trakworx, and completed with artwork by Pedro Felipe Oliveira.

“This LP is a culmination of our interest in the heaviest forms of metal, with influences from all over the map,” vocalist Brandon Bristol offers. “I think there’s something for everyone into heavy music on this record.” Spanning nine tracks just under fifty minutes, Dystopian Syndrome takes the listener through a nightmare-like landscape of political horror, war, fantasy, and natural disasters. “We wrote this between 2018 and 2019 about what was happening around us and across the world. The lyrics eerily reflect what ended up happening in one of the weirdest years ever, 2020.”

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for the first song to be lifted from the upcoming album; Zombie’s Curse. The new music video comes in the form of an extended mini-horror movie.
