When the gates of the world slammed shut in 2020, German metal spearheads CALIBAN<\/strong> focused their energies in the studio. The results were nothing short of prolific: at first,\u00a0Zeitgeister<\/em><\/strong>, a collection of classic CALIBAN songs re-done in their native German, but more importantly, a brand-new album,\u00a0Dystopia<\/em><\/strong>, which is set for\u00a0release on\u00a0April 22<\/strong>nd<\/sup>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today marks the release of the title track, \u201cDystopia (feat. Christoph Wieczorek of Annisokay)<\/strong>\u201d. The song is available to purchase\u00a0on all digital platforms and the music video, which was directed by Witzki Visions, will premiere at\u00a06pm CET \/ 12pm (noon) ET \/ 9am PT,<\/strong>HERE<\/a>.\u00a0\u201c\u2019Dystopia\u2019 is about\u00a0the\u00a0world being fake. Who are you in this world, or especially in the technological \/ digital age behind our screens where you can be anyone. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approach to\u00a0Dystopia<\/em>\u00a0was instinctive and organic. The result was simply darker and heavier. A state of the world address and a sign of these locked-down times. The band members worked in relative isolation, not being able to meet up for writing sessions. Ideas were passed around via the internet. Yet, the anxiety and angst they were all feeling came through. Hence the opening line of the album title track and war-cry: \u201cWelcome Dystopia \u2013 Come show me who you are!\u201d Amidst the anger and sonic wreckage, there\u2019s still a ghost of hopefulness as the band searches for identity, solidarity and ultimately rising from dystopian ashes. A long running fixture in the European metal scene, CALIBAN have reemerged with a furious vision for these dark days. Welcome\u00a0Dystopia.\u00a0Dystopia<\/em>\u00a0was produced by Benjamin Richter (Moonspell, Emil Bulls<\/strong>) and guitarist Marc G\u00f6rtz as well as co-produced by Callan Orr (Dream On, Dreamer<\/strong>). The eye-catching artwork was crafted by the creative team of Season Zero who did\u00a0Zeitgeister<\/em><\/strong>.
