Sovereign's deadly blend of evil death/thrash is released in its entirety via Dark Descent Records!
The band, founded in Oslo in 2018, already has three releases under their belt: Iron Cast (single 2018), Sovereign (demo, 2019) and Neurotic (EP, 2020). After three years the time has finally come to complete the set with the debut album Altered Realities. A monstrous masterpiece of old-school extreme metal ecstasy.
"Altered Realities is the product of an ever-evolving journey we have taken as a band, from our start in 2018 to the recording of the album in early 2022," reflects lead guitarist Tommy Jacobsen. He is supported by former Nocturnal Breed bandmate Vidar Fineidet (guitar), drummer Cato Syversrud and bassist/vocalist Gravskjender.
"We strive to push ourselves, both in terms of speed and technique, without losing the groove and dynamics. Our approach to death/thrash is an interplay between fast-paced aggression and a slower, more upbeat one The album's lyrical themes reflect events and turmoil that occurred during the time of writing and is a journey in itself."
