German death metallers Endseeker have announced September 13th as the release date for their upcoming full-length, The Harvest, through Metal Blade Records. The group worked with produced Eike Freese (Heaven Shall Burn, Deep Purple, Gamma Ray), tracking the effort at Chameleon Studios in Hamburg. Endseeker commented:
“The new album provides a lot of diversity and surprises. The vocals are varied and the melodies are catchy, but it’s still far away from mainstream. You can hear the influential heritage but we hopefully also added some new and relevant flavor to it.”
Regarding it’s release date and how it inspired the album, they add:
“It’s where nature starts to shut down. Fruits ripen, fields get mowed down, people and animals start to prepare for winter by storing stocks. It’s a time of death. Leaves fall off the trees, hibernation is coming closer, the days get shorter and soon everything turns grey. It’s almost magical to see how everything seemingly dies just to resurrect in spring to fulfill another whole spin. These are strong images that are closely related to our vision of death metal, nothing is as cruel and fascinating as nature, and the lyrics are based mainly – but not only – on nature topics.”
A music video for the track “Spiritual Euphoria” has also made it’s premiere; check it out below. This Friday, the song will be released as a very limited Spiritual Euphoria 7″, which features the single on Side A and a cover of Megadeth’s “Symphony Of Destruction” on Side B.
