Rockshots Records<\/strong>\u00a0is proud to announce their signing of the Italian melodic death\u00a0EMBRYO<\/strong>\u00a0for the release of their fifth album\u00a0“A Vivid Shade on Misery”<\/strong>\u00a0on March 17th, 2023. For the album’s recording, the band recruited international drumming powerhouse\u00a0George Kollias (Nile)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fifth full-length follows the band’s 2017’s “A Step Beyond Divinity” (Art Gates Records), 2015’s Self-Titled (logic(il)logic Records) that featured Fleshgod Apocalypse’s drummer Francesco Paoli, 2010’s “No God Slave” and their 2006 debut “Chaotic Age”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since the band’s inception, Embryo<\/strong> has toured across Europe with Melechesh, Keep of Kalessin, Tribulation, Nile, Immolation, Ragnarok, Monuments of Misanthropy, and Suffocation along with performing on festivals such as Masters of Rock (CZ), and Total Metal Festival (Italy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embryo<\/strong> began writing their 5th offering in 2020 with George Kollias and entered the Domination Studio in July 2021 with producer Simone Mularoni, and engineer Simone Bertozzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monolithic, intense, powerful, technical, and melodic this new album features eight brand new tracks and is another concept album like its predecessor “A Step Beyond Divinity”. The band is inspired by historical Italian figures of the Renaissance era and their tormented lives, their absolute genius, and the gifts they gave to the world. While the previous album “A Step Beyond Divinity” was inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci, this new work is totally inspired by Michelangelo Merisi alias Caravaggio, an Italian painter active in Rome for most of his artistic life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“With “A Vivid Shade on Misery” we want to have listeners dive into our world by giving them brutal and atmospheric music melted together in the way we love to do plus having Kollias drum on this new album, one of the best drummers in the world, is just an absolute honour. Overall, fans will find this album has the “Embryo” matrix, there’s no doubt about that. It will be a more direct record and its songs make up a pattern that takes the listener on a journey through torments and anxieties, but which at the same time gives him pure energy.” <\/em>adds the band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the band’s first album “Chaotic Age” (2006) to today, Embryo<\/strong>‘s music has evolved over the years. On the first record, they were more brutal and messier, now their compositions are much more \u201cthought out\u201d and brilliant. If they had to use one word to describe their compositional evolution they would say “sharp”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommended for fans of Strapping Young Lad, Meshuggah, Fear Factory, Death, and Dimmu Borgir, Embryo <\/strong>will be sharing singles and videos in the coming months in lead up to the record’s release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About:<\/strong> After a couple of self-produced works and a first album (\u201cChaotic Age\u201d) Embryo found its sound and recorded \u201cNo God Slave\u201d (2010) with producer Simone Mularoni. The album received very good reviews and led the band to play new gigs in Switzerland, Germany, and Italy and be part of Kung Fu Factory\u2019s Supremacy MMA videogame soundtrack with 2 songs. In 2014 Embryo first recorded a promo at Atomic Stuff Studio with Oscar Burato, then, in May, the band recorded the new self-titled cd at Domination Studio with Simone Mularoni. During the summer they played the main stage at Masters of Rock in the Czech Republic and Total Metal Festival in Italy. In October Embryo signed a deal with logic(il)logic Records for the release of the album and the reissue of \u201cNo God Slave\u201d with some bonus tracks. In December the band made a little tour in Eastern Europe. The new album \u201cEmbryo\u201d came out on the 10th of February 2015. The album received great reviews worldwide and Embryo started a European tour in May with Melechesh, Keep of Kalessin, and Tribulation. After a great show at MetalFest in the Czech Republic in July, the band joined Nile and Suffocation for the second part of their European tour in September. In 2016 the band has been part of the second leg of the \u201cWhat Should Not Be Unearthed\u201d Nile tour with Melechesh and Mithridatic. Embryo finished the recordings of the new album in January at Domination Studios again with guru Simone Mularoni. The band played at the 2017 edition of MetalFest in the Czech Republic on Sunday, June 4th, and signed a deal with Art Gates Records for the release of the 4th studio album \u201cA Step Beyond Divinity\u201d which came out on the 27th of October 2017 in Spain and the 24th of November 2017 in the rest of the world. The album has been enthusiastically reviewed entering the 2017 best albums of the year charts in various webzines all over the world. In November 2019 the band joined \u201cThe Last Atonement European tour\u201d supporting Immolation, Ragnarok, and Monuments of Misanthropy for all the shows. In December the band released a free download digital EP including the new song Misguided legacy and three live songs taken from a live show of the band. In 2020 the famous drummer George Kollias (Nile) joined Embryo in the writing of the new album. The band entered again Domination Studio in July 2021 to record the brand new fifth album \u201cA Vivid Shade On Misery\u201d, which will be released in early 2023, anticipated by the video of the new song \u201cDarkest Lights\u201d.
