Spirit Adriftguitarist/vocalistNate Garrettcomments, "On March 1, 2020, I relocated to the woods outside of Austin, Texas. Two weeks later, everything was locked down. I turned to the thing that has helped me navigate difficult situations for most of my life: writing music. I wrote and demoeda tonof songs over the course of the pandemic. The songs on this E.P. are the best of the bunch. Marcus, Preston, and I recorded these in March of 2021 at Homewrecker Recording Studio with Ryan Bram at the helm.Zeusshandled mixing and mastering, after lengthy discussions about Martin Birch, Tom Allom, Crowbar, and how important it is to carry forth the essence and spirit of heavy metal. Special thanks to our friend Cody Davis for the brilliant title." He continues, "These songs, and this band, represent persevering through difficult times, staying true to your innermost self, and celebrating the life-affirming power of metal. We can't wait to see you all live and in the flesh, in the meantime we hope you enjoy the tunes."

Since their inception,Spirit Adriftis much more than an obsession for Garrett. It's become a mission unto itself - a quest to re-cast the power and potential of melodic metal, doom and hard rocklike the masters before him. Garrett's songwriting style teeters between vintage and modern, combining intelligent lyrics that provoke spiritual and philosophical thought with bold hooks and gilded riffs. With four albums behind Garrett and drummer Marcus Bryant, including 2020's year-end chart-topperEnlightened In Eternity,Spirit Adrifthave shown the world just what heavy metal can be.
