New The Zenith Passage LP, July 21st 2023-05-15 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 14 Comments | U.S. Los Angeles-based tech death metallers The Zenith Passage will be dropping their sophomore full-length, Datalysium, on July 21st through Metal Blade Records. A music video for the new track 'Lexicontagion' can be seen below.
Band comments: "There's always been things that were subtly done on previous releases, like jazz fusion passages, dissonant black metal, synth, and orchestral elements, as well as singing. What we haven't done before is put those influences and ideas more upfront in the songwriting and production. Singing has become a pretty prominent part of some of these songs, as well as synth orchestration and really eerie, dissonant, pissed off black metal influence. We're doing all of this while attempting to tell a harmonic and lyrical story that keeps the listener engaged and wondering what could happen next."
Datalysium was recorded between McKinney's home studio and Rydquist's apartment, with some vocals tracked at Flatline Audio with Dave Otero (Cattle Decapitation, WAKE), who also mixed the album. McKinney handled the tracking, while they brought in Ryan Williams (The Black Dahlia Murder, John Frum) to produce some of the bass and vocals.
Tracklist:
1. The Axiom Of Error
2. Algorithmic Salvation
3. Lexicontagion
4. Synaptic Depravation
5. Deletion Cult
6. Divinertia I
7. Divinertia II
8. Automated Twilight
9. Datalysium

I do like this band quite a bit. I think that comparison to the Faceless is warranted to to most of the members of this band used to play with the Faceless. Derek is a beast on vocals and i look forward to any new changes the band has. The stop start method of riffing is tasty.

Yeah, Derek sounds so good.

The proper sequel to Planetary Duality we always wanted, while still maintaining a progression on that sound. hell yeah. Everyone is great but gotta point out how perfect the bass and vocals are in this group. The low gain tech-y guitar riffs are excellent, and I've got to note how lovely the production on the drums is. Damn, I'm actually pretty stoked on this

This sounds awesome, will be their best.

The first part of this song is good but then it just sounds like typical mid Zenith then they rip off cynic and call it a night.

I see you whine and complain under every news. Perhaps metal just isn't for you OR you're simply too old / bitter to enjoy new music? Back into your elitist cave.
Song is awesome :-)

soooo my wishlist for changes to their sound is becoming a focused reality? Sign me up. Soft spot for these guys.

saying part of a song is good = whining. stfu zoomer
| | |
They played The Axiom of Error live and it was a great opening track. Album will rule for sure
