Watch and learn, kids – Modern Drummer premiered a drum play through of ‘Nostrum’:

Last week, the band released the second single ‘Nostrum’ via a 360 lyric video. Check it out below!

Recently, Rollingstone.com premiered the bands first single ‘Born In Dissonance’ and an exclusive interview with Tomas Haake. The song and interview can be seen exclusively here!

Check out the album trailers below:

Trailer 1 – Discussing the title and cover artwork

Trailer 2 – Chatting about the lyrical inspiration for the album.

Trailer 3 – Tomas discussing his drumming inspiration

Tomas Haake comments about the album, “Basically, the whole idea of why we chose the title is it kinda connects with the lyrical content of the album. Which is to a fair degree about current events and what you see is going on as far as terrorism today, extremist views on ideals, and religious dogma and the violent implications that you get from being asleep so to speak and not acting/reacting to what is going on in the proper way”

The album was produced by the band and was engineered by Tue Madsen of Puk Studios in Kaerby, Denmark. For the cover, the band once again enlisted Keerych Luminokaya who created the artwork for Koloss and The Ophidian Trek as well as the new images for each of the 7 albums and 3 EP’s featured in the 25 Years of Musical Deviance box set.
