Polish shapeshifters Entropia (psychedelic black metal mixed with krautrock, electronics and sludge) will release their fourth album, Total, on 17 March 2023 via Agonia Records.
Entropia's members perform under a joint moniker Ultra. They combine a number of genres, filtered through a prism of metallic extremity. Through three studio albums - Vesper (2013), Ufonaut (2016) and Vacuum (2018) - Entropia pushed and evolved its base sound to develop a unique sonic perspective, drenched in psychedelia. The latter plays a major part in the band's image and conceptual approach and constitutes the new album, Total.
Total encapsulates all previous instalments of Entropia. Pushing aside the temptation to follow along the same lines as Vacuum, new ideas have sprouted in favour of further musical growth. In this sense, Total stands as a brand-new opening, and rests upon the sound of self-designed amplifiers and multi-layered electric guitar compositions.
"Total attempts to capture a glimpse of our ongoing and unending search", comments Entropia. "It consolidates the experiences and skills we've amassed throughout the years, and constitutes a standalone, complete and utter creation; a totality, which reflects the band's chaotic spirit."
Entropia recorded Total in April of 2022 at studio Monochrom, located in the mountains of Kotlina Kłodzka in Poland. Heinrich House Studio engineered, mixed and mastered the album. Total is replete with artwork from Zbigniew Bielak (Behemoth, Ghost, Mgła).
Entropia was formed in 2007 and originates from Oleśnica in Lower Silesia. Its output was met with growing interest from the metal and non-metal community, having the group play Roadburn Festival, Primavera Sound, OFF Festival, Mystic Festival and a European tour supporting US black/folk act Wayfarer. The band contributed to the video game Cyberpunk 2077, by having its song "Future Drugs" appear on the official soundtrack. Link
