Sol Invicto‘s evolving ‘Vault Of Shadows’ initiative continued over the weekend with the debut of the song, “Under The Surface“. This latest weekly track gives a synthwave reimagining to the song “Lost In Translation“, which originally appeared on Sol Invicto‘s debut EP, “Loosely Aware“.
The talents of almost all key members of the electronic metal collective are on display on this latest addition to the growing weekly album of sorts, including keys and songwriting from mastermind Richie Londres, guitars from Deftones‘ Stephen Carpenter, drumming from Dan Foord of SikTh fame, and vocals from Sean Plague of Plague To Pyres. Mastering was completed Technical Itch. That just leaves percussionist Eric Bobo of Cypress Hill fame out of the mix this time around.
Londres said of this offering:
This version was built from alternative mixes and unused synth lines I had created for the original track. My goal was to craft a slower, moodier take—more of a soundscape than a traditional song. As I worked, certain sections blended perfectly with elements of the original, so I decided to combine both. The result highlights the compelling lyrics that Sean wrote and captures the atmospheric mood I was aiming for, and always aiming for.
