Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

“When normally it takes tens or even hundreds of different pictures to get that top one that would be used, we decided to go against the grain to get that perfect atmosphere. We took a single photo using 19th century wet plate photography technique. This way there was no need to decide upon which picture to use. It was a one shot. That’s it.”

Ever since the beginning of the millennium, Adamantra has been devoted to molding their prog metal with piety. Now in the fall they will be bringing out their third full-length album. A third single from the album, Hypocrites, is a story of witch hunts featuring a real string quartet for the first time in the band’s recording history.

“When you run away from narrow-mindedness. When you feel that what you are doing is never right or good. Things can be something completely different than what they seem. The world is not black and white. Or is it?”, bass player Jukka Hoffrén comments on the song’s theme.
