Press Quote:
Cinematic metal quintet DISCONNECTED SOULS are preparing to unveil their debut conceptional album, Fragments of Consciousness. From adventures in gothic fantasy realms to deadly club settings to a dystopian celebration of the world’s end, DISCONNECTED SOULS deliver an intriguing take on the human experience. Fragments of Consciousness will be released on January 19th, 2024.
“Fragments of Consciousness was originally intended to be a double release, however we elected to split this in two in order to keep the momentum going after the success of the Warring Elements EP. There is a conceptual story being told across these albums that pertains to the Mischievous Spirit, introduced on the aforementioned release.
There is a huge amount of variety on this album and with this release we hope to define the genre of ‘Cinematic Metal’; each track is a story and is brought to life using the exact musical palette that is needed to convey the message needed.
I don’t expect that this will be an easy listen and you might be positively baffled by what’s going on, but hopefully you’ll agree that we fulfilled our objectives of producing something different, and you’ll feel enriched for having had the experience (positive or negative)!” – Fletch, DISCONNECTED SOULS.
