Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

The newborn “Act III – Pareidolia of Depravity” from ADAMANTRA picks up seamlessly from where its predecessor left off, both musically and thematically.

The album’s eight tracks tell dark tales of the evils that have surrounded us throughout various eras, offering listeners a journey open to interpretation and personal perspectives. The versatile compositions, paired with skillful instrumentation, form a treasure trove for fans of progressive and power metal.

The bass player Jukka Hoffrén reflects on the album’s creation and production process: “The making of this album took its time, and with its release, we finally bring one era to a close. I believe things unfold in their own time, and in this case, it took several years. But we’re extremely satisfied – this is, without a doubt, our best album so far!”

The album bears the signature sound of Adamantra, blending traditional elements with grandiose choral arrangements. However, it also introduces new elements, with a string quartet featured on three tracks. With two full-length albums and an EP already under their belt, Adamantra’s much-anticipated third album, “Act III – Pareidolia of Depravity”, has finally come to life.
