ALCHEMIST: 'Tripsis' Artwork Revealed

August 15, 2007

Australia's ALCHEMIST has issued the following update:

"ALCHEMIST have completed work on their sixth studio album, 'Tripsis' (cover artwork). Recorded by the band over three years and mixed at Backbeach studios in May 2007. 'Tripsis' is the darkest and heaviest music the band has produced with a tighter more focused song writing style and heavy integrated psychedellia. 'Tripsis' will be released in early October for the rest of the world (via Relapse) and late August for Australia (via Chatterbox Records through MGM)."

"Tripsis", as described by ALCHEMIST guitarist, vocalist Adam Agius (the band is rounded out by guitarist Roy Torkington, drummer Rodney Holder, and bassist John Bray),is "the most consistently heavy album since 'Spartech' with all the ALCHEMIST trademarks — psychedelic, atmospheric, packed with crushing riffs intertwined guitar melodies and groove. 'Tripsis' is also the fastest album delivered by ALCHEMIST with a few songs taking the 'Surfthrash' sound to new heights." Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Wrapped in Guilt", "Degenerative Breeding", "Grasp The Air", "Substance for Shadow", and "Tongues and Knifes".
