Three years in the making, the time has finally come to complete the set with debut album Altered Realities. A monstrous masterwork of old school extreme metal ecstasy.\"Altered Realities is a product of an ever-evolving journey we have taken as a band, from our start in 2018 and culminating in the album's recording in early 2022,\" reflects lead guitarist Tommy Jacobsen. He is joined in the band by former Nocturnal Breed band-mate Vidar Fineidet (guitar), alongside drummer Cato Syversrud, and bassist \/ vocalist Gravskjender.\"We strive to push ourselves, both in terms of speed and technicality, whilst still keeping a groove and dynamic. Our approach to death \/ thrash is an interplay between fast-paced aggression and a slower, more groove-oriented feel. The lyrical themes of the album mirror events and unrest that happened during the time of writing and is in itself a journey.\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41150653595745,"sku":"0795154145225","price":15.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_11507801_954214.jpg?v=1712310777","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0795154145225-sovereign-altered-realities","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
