News: Explore Metal’s Outer Limits With London Quartet THE EVER LIVING’s Debut Release
Today marks the release of THE EVER LIVING’s self-titled debut EP. “It was designed to show different sides of the band but to also be fairly straightforward for a first release. We didn’t want there to be any fat on the songs and it doesn’t let up much. It’s a good taster of what’s to come,” declares vocalist and keyboardist Chris. “The inception of our band was a written manifesto, the contents of which essentially boiled down to one word: intensity,” continues Andrei, guitarist of the recently formed London quartet. “As we developed our sound we realised we wanted to be a heavy band, but not necessarily a “metal” band in the traditional sense and we have evolved deliberately with that in mind.”
THE EVER LIVING’s self titled debut EP is most certainly expansive, its five tracks constructed around tidal waves of thick guitars, atmospheric instrumentation and vocals that roar from the murky depths. “What we have created is heavily layered and intense,”elaborates Andrei, “We’re combining ideas from post, progressive and black metal with classical, industrial and electronic influences in a way that we have not heard other bands do.”
Well matched to their sound is their aesthetic. The release artwork and band logo both employ aspects of geometry work based around Pareidolia. Chris elaborates “The concept was to create something organic and imperfect by manipulating something man-made and geometric, which I felt summed up our sound; a lot of layers with hard edges coming together to form something that has a life of its own.” Additionally, their recently released video for Separated At Death, features moving sculptures depicting a tragic love story, see it here.
