Svengahli announce debut EP ‘Nightmares Of Our Own Design’

SVENGAHLI have announced their debut EP!

Titled Nightmares Of Our Own Design, the upcoming EP from the Baltimore-based progressive death metal band and is scheduled to be released in March next year.

Born from the mind of EXIST bassist Alex Weber, SVENGAHLI aims to chart a unique course between all that progressive death metal and eccentric progressive metal has to offer and combine together. The upcoming EP features artwork from Will Shanklin who also created the art for 2019’s WAIT – We Are In Transit EP. Vocals were engineered by Kenny Eaton at Mystery Ton Studios Monrovia, MD and the effort was mixed and mastered by renowned drummer and producer Anup Sastry.

The EP also includes a series of guest musicians such as EXIST guitarist Matt Rossa, WAIT guitarist Charlie Eron, and drum programming help from Anup Sastray. In addition, high-profile guest guitar spots from OBSCURA guitarist Rafael Trujillo and GORGUTS/DYSRHYTHMIA guitarist Kevin Hufnagel add another unique addition to the material.

Speaking about the upcoming debut EP, Weber says, “I had written these tunes with potentially using them for EXIST in mind but they ended up turning out slightly different than what we’ve been musically doing. I had been considering starting my own project for quite some time but I didn’t fully decide to start the project until about a year ago and didn’t decide on the name until earlier this year. Some of the original ideas for these tunes came as earlier as 2015 but I didn’t fully finish these tunes until a little less than a year ago.”
