Canadian prog outfit, Heaven’s Cry, have revealed the first sample of new material featured on their forthcoming album, Outcast. The nearly one minute long teaser, which also showcases the album’s chaos inducing artwork alongside quotes from political activist Noam Chomsky, whom approved a selection of one of his speeches to appear in the new track "The Human Factor".
"Pierre (St-Jean, vocals/guitar) introduced me to Noam Chomsky' work in the early 2000s", commented vocalist/bassist Sylvain Auclair. "When the time came to dress up that two-minute instrumental part in "The Human Factor", Noam' 1970 ' in the ' lecture was a perfect fit."
Continuing where their 2012 full-length Wheels Of Impermanence left off, Outcast is a concept album that examines the corruption of governments around the world and incites humankind to rally up and fight as this will be the key to our survival and growth.
