Two years after their sophomore"Cosmic Terror", Germany'sTHE SPIRITonce again delve into the vast nothingness of the universe, while capturing the fear of the unknown and humanity's insignificance within our cosmos in their sound. On their upcoming third offering,"Of Clarity and Galactic Structures", out onApril 1st via AOP Records, the duo, consisting ofMatthias Trautes(vocals, guitars, bass) andManuel Steitz(drums), hold on to their black/death metal roots yet take the progressive elements to a whole new level.

Whilst the predecessor from 2019 already contained some prog elements, the brain twisting rhythm changes and virtuosic instrumental performance became an essential part of the band's universe.

Graced by a cover artwork painted by renowned artistEliran Kantor, the album was again recorded and mixed at theWoodshed Studio, GermanybyV. Santura(with the drums being tracked atIguana StudiosbyChristoph Brandes).

While the pandemic hit the duo as hard as any other band and only allowed them to play 12 shows, despite having planned several European tours within the past two years, vocalist and multi-instrumentalistMatthias Trautesand drummerManuelSteitzcan't wait to finally bring Cosmic Terror across the world with their two live musicians, and many tour dates will soon be revealed. The future of our world is still written in the stars, butTHE SPIRIThas come to reach for them once more.
