To prepare fans for the release of their upcoming EP, Sydney-based progressive metal band, IntrØspect, has just announced the imminent release of a brand new single.

Set to drop October 18th, ‘Sovereign‘ will give audiences a taste of what’s to be included in their upcoming EP, ‘Ad Astra‘.

IntrØspect uses soaring vocal melodies, complex riffs and heavy grooves to create a landscape drenched in emotion and rife with passion and hope.

The band is wanting to take the audience on an emotional and spiritual journey from ecstatic bliss to the depths of despair and back again.

According to IntrØspect vocalist and frontwoman Felicity Jayne, ‘Sovereign’ is “the heaviest song on the ‘Ad Astra’ EP and draws inspiration from Carl Jung’s conception of the shadow.”

“’Sovereign‘ is a reminder that each of us has a darkness within, and we are not truly empowered until we’ve reckoned with it, and integrated it.” Ms Jayne said.

‘Sovereign‘ features a fierce vocal performance from Above, Below’s Jacob Wilkes and is the first track to have screamed vocals.

Mr Wilkes vocals work alongside Ms Jayne’s voice and creates a haunting atmosphere that is underscored by heavy riffs and crushing breakdowns.

The EP will be launched alongside Glass Ocean and Opus of a Machine in Sydney on November 30 as a support at Factor Floor.

‘Ad Astra‘ is available October 18 and can be pre-ordered at https://listen.introspectmusic.co/adastra
