German
technical death metal sorcerers, SOPHICIDE, announced the
release of their debut, Perdition Of The
Sublime. Set for North American release on August 14, 2012 via Willowtip Records,
the 11-track long player was recorded, mixed and
mastered by founder Adam Laszlo at his home studio and features the
striking cover design by artist
Steve Voigt.
Formed
as a one-man-project in
2009 by Laszlo, then 19, SOPHICIDE
fuses elaborate melodies
with battering technical brutality into a sound that’s as malicious as it is
memorable. Meaning "murder of wisdom," SOPHICIDE describes the state of modern
society and serves as the central theme of Perdition Of The Sublime. Notes Laszlo: “It's another word for
anti-intellectualism. People are stupid, ignorant and seem to be proud of it.
This is a disturbing trend.”
“I'm
really keen to release this album,” he continues of
the release.
“I've put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into it and I hope people can connect
to it as I do. Basically the overall theme coincides with the meaning of
‘sophicide.’ Intellect and enlightenment seem to be displaced by religion and
casting shows. There’s this overall apathy, people don't seem to give a shit
about anything as long as they get their cheap meat and TV shows. This is what
POTS is basically about, although the
focus is on religion, after all it's the elephant in the
room.”
