INTRONAUT “Cubensis” Video Off ‘Fluid Existential Inversions’ Album + N. American Tour

January 18, 2020August 6, 2021

Article By: Pat ‘Riot’ Whitaker ‡ Edited By: Leanne Ridgeway

Innovative, U.S. progressive post-metal icons INTRONAUT recently announced that the nearly five-year wait for a new studio album from the band will soon end.

More specifically, February 28th will see the arrival of the nine-song ‘Fluid Existential Inversions‘, the band’s first outing for Metal Blade Records, and a follow-up to 2015’s ‘The Direction Of Last Things‘. With the unveiling of the album details today, there is the delivery of the first single, “Cubensis“, in official video format.

 


Tracklist:

01. Procurement Of The Victuals
02. Cubensis
03. The Cull
04. Contrapasso
05. Speaking Of Orbs
06. Tripolar
07. Check Your Misfortune
08. Pangloss
09. Sour Everythings

The song is a mesmerizing construct of tremolo-tinged guitars and epic rhythmic stitching amid several transitioning stages within the track. Laced with psychedelic elements present in passages of tumultuously sludgy metal, along with descents into clearly headier areas, “Cubensis” will impress. Complimenting its dynamic music is the equally stunning visualizer created by director Pat Lascu for LASCO Productions, with other cinematic elements from Concrete Pictures.

“Cubensis” also introduces us to the incredible drumming of Alex Rüdinger, who appears on the entire record alongside guitarist and vocalist Sacha Dunable, bassist Joe Lester, and multi-instrumentalist Dave Timnick. Dunable was eager to inform fans as to what they can expect on the upcoming album, saying:

“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.”

Some of this music was written within a week of the last record being released, and we originally wanted to get into the studio to make this album back in early 2017, but I think the band was kind of burnt out, and I personally was definitely burnt out, and we decided to take a year off before committing to a new album and the touring stuff that comes with it. After a little time off, I kept writing on my own and I realized I love making this music whether we’re an active band or not.”
