‘Alchemists’ is the most eclectic album by DEGREES OF TRUTH: it combines innovative arrangements and influences from pop and electronic music, while leaning towards a modern and very elegant progressive metal side.
The album features catchy melodies, symphonic orchestrations but also compelling guitar riffs and versatile vocals that range from rock-style melodies to delicate chants and even operatic digressions, carried out by the new extraordinary singer Claudia Beltrame.
The variegated songwriting reflects the multiple lyrical themes, which include mini-concepts about the meaning of life, freedom and artistic creation.
The album is set to be released on June 23rd via Scarlet Records.
