Spain’s leading thrash export, Angelus Apatrida, have wrapped recordings for their eighth studio album, Aftermath. The record is set to be released in October via Century Media Records worldwide.
Aftermath was self-produced by the band with recordings handled by Juanan López at Baboon Records in Albacete, Spain and mixing and mastering with Zeuss at Planet-Z in Wilbraham, MA, USA.
The band state:
“We did it again! We knew ‘Angelus Apatrida’ was a hard nut and something very difficult to overcome, but I can affirm that our new album has all the best songs we’ve ever created, mixing every single essence of what we are. There is speed, aggressive riffs, crazy growls, high vocals, insane solos, incredibly fast and deep drums, clean guitars, amazing guest appearances and even a ballad… Yes, another ballad! This album is what METAL means to us! Can’t wait you to check this new music; you’ll love it!”
Angelus Apatrida are also launching a documentary directed by Mike Casey entitled 28 Months Later: A Post-Apocalyptic Metal Documentary which deals with the period between the preparation of the latest album, its release through the time of the pandemic, and the upcoming release of Aftermath.
Guitarist and vocalist Guillermo Izquierdo comments:
“When we confirmed the last shows of the Indoctrinate World Tour, I came to Mike with the idea of doing something bigger than all the works we were doing during the last months: to tell in first person how the situation went from a global pandemic disaster to a global music success, all around the making and release of ‘Angelus Apatrida’. Our first documentary is made with a lot of respect and love for our jobs and music itself, and it’s a way to say a big thank you to every single person in the world who one way or another helped us to survive these chaotic times and stay stronger than ever.”
The band’s 2021, self-titled record, Angelus Apatrida, topped the official album charts in Spain at # 1, #49 in Germany, and # 41 in Switzerland.
