Soulsplitter announce debut album ‘Salutogenesis’

SOULSPLITTER have announced their debut album!

Titled Salutogenesis, the upcoming album from the German progressive metallers is their debut effort and is scheduled to be released in October this year.

The eight songs forming Salutogenesis act like movements of a larger, overarching concept. Telling a tale of love, death, meaning and self-awareness, it was SOULSPLITTER‘s intention from the start to focus exclusively on both the underlying concept as a whole and on each individual song as a self-contained piece, so as not to limit the creative process. The band acquired the support of over 50 individuals – guest vocalists, instrumentalists, producers, designers, painters, animators, photographers, filmmakers – to create the upcoming album.

“The creation of Salutogenesis is something I’ve dreamt about throughout my whole teenage years,” says drummer Fenix Gayed, offering insight into the creation of both the band and their forthcoming album. “I wanted to found a band that crossed borders between genres, artforms and people – but I was lacking the skill to write it and the people to realize it with. Being a teenager at the time, there were musical skills I had yet to develop and emotional hardships I had yet to face…all of which would eventually contribute towards the concept, writing and delivery of this album. It feels surreal that after years of hard work, both internally and externally, we are now standing at the brink of releasing our baby over to the public – and we couldn’t be more excited about it.”

Fans are able to get involved in the lead-up to release via the band’s crowdfunding activity. The band will also be issuing a limited number of physical copies at this year’s Euroblast Festival, where they will perform at the Ignite Night at Club Volta.

Salutogenesis is set for release on October 18th via self-release.
