The Zenith Passage release new music video for ‘Divinertia II’

THE ZENITH PASSAGE have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Divinertia II, is taken from the Los Angeles-based progressive death metal band’s upcoming new album, Datalysium, which is scheduled to be released in July this year.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “lyrically, this song is about the panic that ultimately causes what we can consider a Big Bang within the context of Datalysium. In Part I, we explore a universal totality that exists in a closed loop. At some point it gets wise to the idea of ‘more.’ In Divinertia II, this idea manifests ‘more’ into existence, unexpectedly splitting into the known and unknown realities that we exist in today, all borne of confusion and fear.

Musically, we explore and expand on a motif and counterpoint theme, which evolves into various tempos and momentum. A majority of this song is just one riff played at various speeds using a familiar rhythmic motif throughout. The evolving tempos are all derivatives of triplet, as a nod to the number of the universe, 333.”

When describing the upcoming album, the band says, “imagine if NECROPHAGIST and MESHUGGAH were married, and CYNIC and EXTOL got married, then years later they went to a swingers party to spice up their relationships, which then became a regular thing. From this, they all had a kid together, no one knows who the biological father is, but that’s cool because they’re co-parenting. That kid then grows up, idolizing David Lynch, Ridley Scott, and film noir. He then goes to film school for a couple of years, but drops out because he’d rather play synth music, but ends up broke and homeless. Then Datalysium would be that kid.”

Datalysium is set for release on July 21st via Metal Blade Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
