Soreption Jord

When the world was shuttered from a worldwide pandemic, Soreption saw this as an opportunity to shift gears, refocus their tech machine and set out to create an album that is the natural continuation of Monument of the End, both musically and concept-wise. 2022 sees the return of Soreption to Unique Leader Records with the highly anticipated new album Jord, mixed and mastered by Buster Odeholm and featuring artwork by Caelan Stokkerman who handled artistic duties on their previous releases.

The band comments... "Our main focus, as it has been in every album since the beginning, is to write death metal with a blend of technicality and groove. The goal is to raise those two elements' more and more for every release. Finding that balance keeping the music interesting is important aspects when we write." When establishing the concept of Jord the band focused on fragments of reality after the end of the world by way of an apocalypse. It's also the first album in their repertoire where the lyrics are directed more towards fiction, whereas the other albums were a tale of the current world we live in or where the world could eventually be headed.

Jord also features guest guitar solos from Ian Waye (Thanopraxia), Stefan Nordlander (ex-Soreption Live), Johan Andersson (Dråp), John Matos (Abiotic), Malcom Pugh (Inferi), Joe Haley (Psycroptic), Gottfrid (Independant), Dean Lamb & Tobi Morelli (Archspire). Synths and effects were arranged by James Carey with drums and vocals recorded by Roger Bergsten at Nevo Studios.
