Perpetua announce debut album ‘Resurgence’

PERPETUA have announced their debut album!

Titled Resurgence, the upcoming album from the Scottish groove metal band is their debut full-length record, and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Seek & Strike.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band shares, “this album is the culmination of all our efforts to create something special. It’s a fresh take on classic metal formulas with a modern twist. We felt that the aggressiveness and depth of the songs really stood out how we imagined. The layered choruses, the fast technical guitars, and the ferocious groove all blended together perfectly. We strived for a more technical and melodic approach in contrast to our previous work. The song structures are now more in-depth and progressively changing. Like the lyrical content, we feel the instrumental aspect of the song itself is very dark and moving.

We were heavily focused on creating a combination of blistering fast riffs, death metal vocals and soaring chorus hooks. We wanted to write an album as technical and aggressively heavy as we could, and we feel that we reached that. We spent a lot of time digging into song structures, rearranging and making sure we were content with the final outcome of every song. We knew how important our first full-length album is and for that reason it had to be perfect. We hope you enjoy it and thanks for your support.”

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, PERPETUA have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming debut; The Hell It Brings. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming debut album, following on from Overcome, which was released in October last year.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “this is a song about bad choices, depression and how far our minds can fall into despair as a result. Much like the overall lyrical content on the album, it’s very deep and dark. This track is in a lower tuning, featuring some of the grooviest and heaviest guitars on the album, making it a stand out single for us. Visually, we thought to lean into the despair. Showing how the mind can be twisted by opting to view it through augmented lenses and prisms. The pace of the video carrying forth the idea that life can be hard to keep up with.”
