"When normally it takes tens or even hundreds of different pictures to get that top one that would be used, we decided to go against the grain to get that perfect atmosphere. We took a single photo using 19th century wet plate photography technique. This way there was no need to decide upon which picture to use. It was a one shot. That’s it."
ADAMANTRA New Single deals with the problems of surveillance societies - Third Album to be Released at the End of October
Ever since the early 2000’s has Adamantra forged its versatile power metal and is, after a long hiatus, releasing its third album Act III – Pareidolia of Depravity on October 25th through Inverse Records. Both musically and thematically the album carries on from where the previous album Act II: Silent Narratives ended, but for the first time a string quartet can be heard on three songs, which of course adds a tasteful flavor to the mix.
All eight songs tell grim tales of different eras, the evil things surrounding us, its openness to interpretation and differing points of view. Now released single False Illusions, with its accompanied lyric video, touches the subject of the problems of a totalitarian society, of which the bass player Jukka Hoffrén speaks as follows:
"The lyrics are about a surveillance society and totalitarian dictatorship. The loss of one’s privacy, freedom of thought and expression means the total of loss of freedom, though it might, at the same time, be an illusion of harmony and peace. Surveillance society is really a dictatorship. Can happiness be guaranteed to an individual in the name of mutual success and conformity?"
