Therefore the band is now debuting a lyric-video for the track ‘Architects’, which can be seen below (or here within Germany: http://www.muzu.tv/angelus-apatrida/architects-lyric-video-video/2347578/):
ANGELUS APATRIDA’s Guillermo Izquierdo (Vocals/Guitars) checked in to comment as follows about the track: “Ever since I was a kid I’ve been fascinated by astronomy, the universe, the planets and the origin of life. I’ve always considered myself very interested in the UFO phenomenon and everything involving aliens and extraterrestrial forms of life. Since we started working on this song I had the feeling that I wanted to speak about that, emphasizing the “conspiranoid” elements that consider that human life could be the result of much older civilizations that lived on planet earth way before us.”
Previously, the album’s first promotional video clip for the song ‘End Man’, which was directed by Adriana Lorente and Sara Cort (who already worked with ANGELUS APATRIDA on their previews clips for “You Are Next” and “Blast Off”), was launched here:

The artwork for “Hidden Evolution” was handled by Gyula Havancsák / Hjules.com, who has also decorated album sleeves for bands such as Annihilator, Destruction, Stratovarius, Grave Digger and also Nightingale.
