Terminalist Announce Debut Album And Share First Single

---

Terminalist have shared the first single from their upcoming debut album ‘The Great Acceleration’.

The new song called ‘Relentless Alteration’, shares the first taste of the upcoming full-length from the Sci-fi thrashers.

Talking about the song’s themes, Emil Hansen, the band’s lead singer, guitarist and lyrical mastermind said “Our modern world is one permeated by crises and fueled by constant changes happening at a seemingly increasing rate. This song and its visual montage-style accompaniment is about feeling the firm ground crumble beneath you, and utilizing the disturbances to take flight – a move exhilarating, yet terrifying.”

The Danish-American four-piece formed back in 2018, and debuted a year later with their EP ‘Abandon All Liberties’. The band takes their infuenceses from the technical thrash metal of the late 1980’s, fusing it with black metal blast beats, death metal growls, and grandiose prog rock concepts to bring it up to date. The result is a modern concoction, yet retro in its appeal; a style the band itself has dubbed hyperthrash.

“Terminalist use the lens of dromology to describe the duality of technology and investigate Virilio’s thesis that the invention of the ship was also the invention of the shipwreck; continuing the thrash metal tradition of political criticism and pessimism about the future.” The accompanying press release states. “Yet, Terminalist fit in among a new generation of metal bands using the genre’s monstrous sounds to illustrate the downfall of modern society in favor of something new and unknown. This is conveyed in a sound which is fast and aggressive, melodic and dynamic; catchy yet technical.”
