Theraphosa announce debut album ‘Transcendence’
THERAPHOSA have announced their debut album!
Titled Transcendence, the upcoming album from the French progressive metal trio is their debut full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Season of Mist.
The band’s journey began when they released their self-titled 2018 debut EP with the assistance of Jan Rechberger, better known as the drummer of AMORPHIS.
Taking little pause to begin recording their debut full-length in Sainte-Marthe Studio in Paris, France, the band have collaborated with critically-acclaimed producer Francis Caste [THE GREAT OLD ONES, HANGMAN’S CHAIR, REGARDE LES HOMMES TOMBER] to create Transcendence – a cult of groove-laden, fatalistic melodies that toy with the concept of man’s potential to surpass the human condition, and what the trio consider today to be the “decay of mankind, its values and behaviors”.
“Working with Francis was an incredible experience,” says THERAPHOSA vocalist Vincent Dubout. “He has instantly understood the concept of the band and we are very happy with the result. Almost every song on Transcendence has a religious feel, and we believe that this is something the listener will experience”, continues Vincent, offering further light on the band’s forthcoming debut full-length. “There is a will to reach a higher level of strength through spirituality, self-consciousness and acceptance of one’s own darkness.”
Transcendence is set for release on April 24th via Season of Mist.
