Texan progressive metalcore band Fervence will be putting out their new album “Constructs” through Metal Blade on October 16th. Deftones, Architects and Silent Planet are listed as influences by the band, who evolved out of a solo project originally helmed by guitarist Trent Odneal.
Odneal and his guitarist counterpart in the group, Austin Bentley, co-produced this effort, which was mixed and mastered by Zack Ohren (Fallujah, All Shall Perish). A Tom Flynn-directed music video for “Zenith” from that outing is available now below, with vocalist Stevie B stating of the song:
“The lyrics were inspired by the feelings of hopelessness and depression that come with prolonged health struggles. Dealing with health challenges in your own life, seeing people you love struggle, and just feeling like there is no way out and nothing will ever get better.”
Weighing in on the themes behing the album itself, Bentley added:
“The idea that our identities, relationships, ambitions, and experiences, though beautiful, are ultimately constructs that eventually collapse was something we wanted reflected in the imagery itself. Like the songs themselves, the artwork brings an ominous and almost mythological quality to bear.”
