South African / UK Progressive Thrashers INFANTERIA are back in full force with their anticipated new album ‘Patriarch‘! Chris Hall (Vocals & Guitar), Tim Leibbrandt (Bass) and Adrian Langeveld (Drums) have been hard at work the past 28 months preparing their triumphant third album.
The first single ‘Embrace The Trauma‘ is hailed by Metal Hammer as a “new metal song you need the hear right now” with radio airplay to date on power stations like Kerrang! Radio and Heavy Radio. ‘Patriarch‘ had its Worldwide Premiere with Metal Injection, and is now available on all platforms https://linktr.ee/infanteria
The Sound & Visuals
“Patriarch shows a darker and more brooding side of Infanteria. From the music, down to the ghostly and ethereal artwork that Tim (Bass) brought to life to match Chris’ vision for the album.” Adrian Langeveld (Drums)
Current vs. Previous Albums
“This album, for me at least, has a maturity to it when listening compared to Where Serpents Conquer or Isolated Existence. From the production to the music, a bit more of a swagger and confidence, without trying too hard to outdo everything released prior.” Adrian Langeveld (Drums)
The Type Of Sound
“There’s something for everyone’s tastes on this album. Melodic, dark, proggy, heavy, thrashy and even gentler passages. It’s a good mix for your listening journey.” Adrian Langeveld (Drums)
Writing & Playing
“This time round I was involved with the song writing process from the beginning and this shows where the playing is less frenetic, far simpler and more calculated. A totally different experience to where I came in on Where Serpents Conquer, when I wasn’t even really sure what I’d be playing on the day of recording. It was certainly a successful approach for WSQ, however, for this album, being a part of the whole process gave it the time and thought it deserved from a rhythmic perspective.” Adrian Langeveld (Drums)
The Timeline
“It’s been almost 7 years since our last album. During that time, band members have gone through some major life changes, emigration to different countries and a pandemic, but we’ve finally managed to make it happen. We really would like to thank our loyal fans for their patience, and we truly hope that you’ve found the wait worth it. Thanks for sticking with us. You ROCK \m/” Adrian Langeveld (Drums)
“I can’t believe we’ve finally got here! Adrian and I started writing this album back in early 2017 and life has gone through so many twists and turns since then…there have been times when I wasn’t sure the album would ever come out, but with all the support from Heinrich (our producer), Tim and Adrian, we’ve pulled through with something we’re all proud of.” Chris Hall (Vocals & Guitar)
