{"product_id":"sovereign-altered-realities","title":"Sovereign - Altered Realities","description":"\u003cp\u003eA full-length offering of Sovereign's lethal blend of evil death \/ thrash is set to be unshackled via Dark Descent Records!\r\nFormed in Oslo 2018 AD, the band have three releases under their belts: Iron Cast (single 2018), Sovereign (demo, 2019), and Neurotic (EP, 2020). Three years in the making, the time has finally come to complete the set with debut album Altered Realities. A monstrous masterwork of old school extreme metal ecstasy.\r\n\"Altered Realities is a product of an ever-evolving journey we have taken as a band, from our start in 2018 and culminating in the album's recording in early 2022,\" reflects lead guitarist Tommy Jacobsen. He is joined in the band by former Nocturnal Breed band-mate Vidar Fineidet (guitar), alongside drummer Cato Syversrud, and bassist \/ vocalist Gravskjender.\r\n\"We strive to push ourselves, both in terms of speed and technicality, whilst still keeping a groove and dynamic. Our approach to death \/ thrash is an interplay between fast-paced aggression and a slower, more groove-oriented feel. The lyrical themes of the album mirror events and unrest that happened during the time of writing and is in itself a journey.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48080235397425,"sku":"795154143450","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/products\/4283482-3084817.jpg?v=1705001790","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/sovereign-altered-realities","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
