New England's enduring tech metal pioneers, End-Time Illusion, proudly unveil their highly anticipated 4th full-length album, Anamnesis Genesis, today, September 29, 2023. This monumental release is now available worldwide in both digital formats and hard copy media, thanks to the collaboration between Combat Records and Mindsnap Music.
To celebrate, the band has unveiled an enthralling lyric video for the album's opening track, "Lure of the Abyss," created by the talented team at Black Sheep Media. You can experience the mesmerizing visuals and thought-provoking lyrics below.
As a teaser for the album, a play through video for "Codex Gigas" (Designed by Melody) was previously released.
The album showcases 8 intricate compositions written by founding member guitarist Dave Sharpe (Dead by Wednesday, Ellefson US backing band) and singer Adam Sloan. To strengthen the rhythm section the band recruited NYC session drummer Alex Cohen (Malignancy, Pyrexia) with Sharpe handling bass duties and Sharpe and Sloan on keys. The tracks weave through the catchy and hook laden riffage the group is known for while also incorporating some Black Metal, Goth, and experimental elements to round out a mature Death Metal and Thrash musical evolution. Like E-TI’s predecessor Deities at War (2015), the tracking was completed at Sonic Environments studio with engineer Jeff Weed who recently remixed and remastered the album.
In support of the release the band plans to play select shows including an upcoming album release party in their home state of CT. TBA soon!
