SOPHICIDE: Exclusive New Track Premiere

In celebration of the release of SOPHICIDE’s debilitating Perdition Of The Sublime full-length, today the crypt keepers at MetalSucks host the exclusive premiere of the album’s tenth track “Dawn Of A New Age.” Set for North American release on August 14, 2012 via Willowtip Records, Perdition Of The Sublime was recorded, mixed and mastered by founder/songwriter Adam Laszlo at his home studio and features 11 smoldering hymns of complex yet rhythmic technical death brutality.
Witness “Dawn Of A New Age” HERE.
Formed as a one-man-project in 2009 by Laszlo, SOPHICIDE means “murder of wisdom” and serves as the central theme of Perdition Of The Sublime. In an early review of the record, Hails & Horns notes, “SOPHICIDE combine lethal tech-death the likes of Obscura with epic riffs in the vein of All Shall Perish/Fleshgod Apocalypse combined with occasional melodic/progressive brilliance, reminiscent of Opeth,” adding that, “each instrument shines brilliantly in the mix and gels together cohesively. With such depth of sound, it’s hard to believe that this is a solo record because never at any point does this forty-four minuets of sonic ecstasy sound like it could be just one person.” Powerline crowns it, “one of the most promising debuts I’ve ever heard, and a staggeringly high quality release,” while This Is Not A Scene agrees: “It’s hard to believe this is a debut album. It’s even harder to believe this was recorded, mixed, and mastered in Adam Laszlo‘s home studio… The music is very technical. It’s almost mathematical. Therein lies the beauty. It’s heavy and very much in your face but the composition is intricate and multi-layered.”

SOPHICIDE: New Track Online “Within Darkness”


Today the bestial beings at Decibel bring to the masses “Within Darkness,” the second track off Perdition Of The Sublime from German tech death manipulators, SOPHICIDE. Comments founder Adam Laszlo of the track: “‘Within Darkness’ is a song about radical religion — more specifically radical islamists, people who are brought up to defy every form of sanity and reason and stop at nothing to live up to their hideous and inane beliefs. Our society needs to overcome this insanity. It’s time to discard our gods and ‘holy scriptures’ and reach for intellectual enlightenment!”

Puncture your eardrums here.

SOPHICIDE: German Tech Death Metallers announced Willowtip Debut

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.”
