Chevelle Niratias

Multi-platinum alternative rockers Chevelle return with their first new music in five years and ninth studio effort overall entitled Niratias. Produced by Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens Of The Stone Age), the follow-up to 2016's The North Corridor is introduced by the searing science denier focused lead single "Self Destructor" and features striking artwork by Boris Vallejo (Knightriders, National Lampoon's Vacation, 70's and 80's science fiction novel covers). Regarding the lyrical direction of the pummeling and provocative Niratias, Pete Loeffler told Blabbermouth: "It has a lot of space to it, a lot of interstellar travel to it. As you'll see with the cover, it's sort of space themed as well. I love the idea of the cosmos and I love Carl Sagan and Elon Musk and Neil deGrasse Tyson and all these people that look beyond and look to the future. Getting off this planet is part of that future if we can do it. It's fascinating. It just made its way into the music."
