Intronaut have announced their overall sixth full-length effort, Fluid Existential Inversions will be released on February 28th via Metal Blade Records. The group believes the follow-up to 2015’s The Direction of Last Things could be the best album they’ve made as guitarist/vocalist Sacha Dunable explained:
“We pushed ourselves to be bigger and better, musically speaking, and to me that’s the essence of progressive music. On this album, there are drums played in ways I’ve never heard before. There are synths used in contexts I’ve never heard before. Intronaut has the most unique bass player in all of heavy metal as far as I’m concerned, and I even practiced guitar to get myself out of my comfort zone. So I think we progressed and made the best album ever.”
To accompany the announcement, the band has shared the first taste of the record with a video for the first single, “Cubensis.”
