Description
Formed in 2020, Allt is a progressive metalcore band from Karlskoga, Sweden, known for their audiovisual storytelling and innovative approach to metalcore. Following their 2022 sophomore EP “The Seed Of Self-Destruction”, hailed as a genre-transcending metalcore release, Allt are set to solidify their trademark sound with their debut album "From The New World”.
"From The New World" is a meticulously crafted musical journey of self-discovery in the wake of devastation. The album is inspired by the world's tensions and fears, exploring themes of collapse and resilience in the physical aftermath of a nuclear event and the emotional and philosophical landscape that would follow. To fully immerse themselves in the creative process and the themes of the album, the band spent some time isolated in a forest cabin.
Each of the 10 tracks of FTNW tells a unique story of loss, hope, and human perseverance, framed by the cosmic mystery of the Fermi paradox. From the first track, "A Flash of Light," to the final track, "Cycles," it's all about moving through the chaos and finding meaning and human connection in a chaotic world. ” Writing about such themes allows us to process our thoughts and emotions while offering our listeners a space to explore theirs. It's about connecting with our audience on a deeply personal and universally relevant level”.
The album blends mechanical and organic sounds, evoking both desolation and the quiet beauty of life persisting amidst the aftermath. The sound is a mix of expansive synths that mimic everything from the eerie qualities of radio waves to vast machinery with immense computing power. The dynamic instrumentation, powerful vocals, and organic elements further ground the music in a palpable reality. “This album is a journey, and we're inviting everyone to come along. It's about finding empathy and connection, even in the face of everything that's happened. It's a big step in our evolution as a band, showing where we've been and where we're heading”.
"From The New World" is available as CD Digipak, black vinyl and digital release.
