VESANIA - New Song Available For Streaming; Release Date For New Album Confirmed For October

Vesania, the Polish symphonic black metal act that features current and former members of Behemoth, Dimmu Borgir, Vader, and Decapitated will release their fourth full-length album, (and first since 2007) Deus Ex Machina, on October 28th via Metal Blade Records. 

The tracklist is as follows:

"Halflight"
"Innocence"
"Disillusion"
"Vortex"
"Dismay"
"Glare"
"Notion"
"Disgrace"
"Fading"
"Scar"

The track "Innocence" can be heard below.

"There's no singular unifying lyrical concept on Deus Ex Machina," says the band, "but there's a main theme, a coherent and deliberate thread running from the title through the music. The title of the album is a term from ancient Greek tragedy and translates to "god from the machine." The idea for the concept was that a machine, typically a rudimentary crane, would lower a thespian playing god onto the stage to solve the seemingly unsolvable conflict in the plot. In modern entertainment, the term has evolved to primarily refer to a cheap solution in a poorly written script or novel. Alternatively, Vesania's Deus Ex Machina is a call for any kind of help or intervention because all of the lyrics on the album are hopeless and show characters in situations that leaves them powerless. One of the tracks tells the story of the lowering of an actor, supposedly the god, onto a stage before a corrupted man searching for answers. Instead, that actor is lowered by a noose around their neck, having already died. The lyrics paint a drab picture, particularly when paired with equally bleak music." 

Vesania is:

Orion - guitars and voices

Daray - drums

Siegmar - synths and samples

Heinrich - bass

Valeo - guitars
