Producing technical groovy death metal rooted in musical duality and lyricism, Winnipeg, MB’s INVERTED SERENITY are streaming their new single ‘Elemental Abyss’ off their upcoming album ‘Integral’ due out on October 9th to follow up their 2013 debut ‘Manifestation of Eternity In A World of Time’.
The band comments about the track:
“Perhaps our most mature and technically structured songwriting on the record can be found in Elemental Abyss. This song comes out of the gate with a full speed technical thrash pace that unfolds itself into larger layered riffs all while maintaining a mid-paced headbanging groove underlying the majority of the song. Heavy and polyrhythmic riffs are explored akin to the sounds of bands like Decapitated and Meshuggah. A 7/4 time signature is played while Marcos vocals push the thickness of the song along. Tomas’ massive sounding screams lead you into the auditory abyss we specifically placed as the final stretch of the album. The themes explored lyrically are tied into the unknowing of our oceans on Earth, which can be paralleled to the unknown depths of our emotions inside of us. While we are immersed in this material world structured by the elements, through discernment and letting go of the weight of physical reality, we are immersed in the fractal nature of reality and its infinite depth.”

INVERTED SERENITY’s music is a gateway into the infinite fractal nature of the minds of Drew (Parasitism) on guitar, backing vocals, Ben (Moira) on drums, backing vocals, Tom on bass, lead vocals, and Marco on guitar. Topics are inspired from works of many psychonaughts akin to Carl Jung, involving transcendental, philosophies, global tribe mentality, the impermanence of the physical world, and alchemy. Their riffs range from atmospheric black-metal grooves, old-school inspired death metal passages, thrash riffs, progressive technical journeys, and everything in between.
Their upcoming album ?Integral? was about a two year process, which began even before the release of their 2013 debut album ‘Manifestation of Eternity in a World of Time”. The instrumentation took about a year, then they began pre-production in the Summer of 2014 with Iko Lucic (credits). Their influences collectively are mainly Gojira, Decrepit Birth, Beyond Creation, Lamb of God, and Decapitated, but they enjoy all genres of music, which enhances their creative diversity.
Inverted Serenity live are extremely energetic with an onslaught of different styles and tempo changes that surprise the listener and keep them entertained. The heavy four piece is releasing ?Integral? on October 9, 2015 and is a transcendental experience for listeners as they reach the end of the album they will become whole.
