Artificial Brain announce new album ‘Antillia’ + song

Artificial Brain have announced their fourth studio album, Antillia, set for release on November 13 via Profound Lore Records.

The band have also released the album’s first single, “Quantum Malignancies,” which you can check out below.

Antillia introduces a new version of Artificial Brain following the band’s move to Richmond, Virginia. The current lineup consists of founding members Dan Gargiulo and Samuel Smith, guitarist Oleg Zalman, plus new vocalist Mike Paparo (Inter Arma) and drummer Alex Tomlin (Battlemaster).

Bassist Samuel Smith commented on the new single: “I am excited to be releasing ‘Quantum Malignancies’ first because I think this song is a good reflection of both the change and continuity in our sound on ‘Antillia.’”

Smith also noted that the song features guest vocals from Paulo Paguntalan, who has appeared on all of the band’s albums, and said the addition of Paparo and Tomlin brought “a new sense of immediacy” to the material.

Paparo added the following about the song’s lyrics: “On Antillia, I wanted the lyrics of the record to reflect the human struggle with the universe and all of its horrors and unknowns. With ‘Quantum Malignancies,’ humankind is presented with a technology that could positively alter society and its future. However, this technology becomes perverted and transmuted by the grifters and plutocrats in power, leading to a massive, calculated depopulation.”

Antillia was recorded and mixed by Ian Jacyszyn (Miasmatic Necrosis, Aeviterne) and mastered by Colin Marston (Krallice, Gorguts, Defeated Sanity). The artwork was created by Fleshflies.
