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.

Sakis Tolis, frontman of black metal legends ROTTING CHRIST, has been interviewed on the latest episode of Headbanger’s Kitchen. The show, hosted by Demonic Resurrection frontman Demonstealer features the preparation of a ‘Grandis Pilaf Diavolos’ followed by an in-depth interview with Sakis about the band’s history, their experiences in India and future plans.
Watch the episode below:
Previous episodes of the show have featured grindcore monsters Gutslit, death metal veterans Third Sovereign and the newly popular The Down Troddence.
More Headbanger’s Kitchen news – Demonstealer has just released a promo video for a brand new show called ‘Bacon Tadka‘. Check it out below:
“Ever since Headbanger’s Kitchen was started, my bacon creations have been the most popular, as well as the meat being a global phenomenon. So it seemed only natural to do something with bacon, but I wanted to do something unique and what better way than to baconize Indian food. So on the show we take classic Indian dishes and figure out a way to add bacon into it and still make it taste great. That’s what Bacon Tadka is all about” commented Demonstealer.
The show will release it’s first episode around the last week of January on the Headbanger’s KitchenChannel.
Metal legend Tony Iommi, 66, had just begun working on a new album with Ozzy Osbourne and his BLACK SABBATH bandmates when he was diagnosed with the blood cancer lymphoma in January 2012.
But he was determined not to let the gruelling treatment stop him working. You can read Tony‘s thoughts about his illness as expressed to mirror.co.uk:
“When the doctors told me I had cancer I thought, ‘That’s it then’.
Cancer was death as far as I was concerned. I found a painful lump in my groin while I was in New York promoting my book.
I thought it was my prostate acting up again, but Ozzy told me I should get it checked out. I came back to England and had an operation to reduce my prostate. It was painless but afterwards I needed a catheter. When that came out I went to see the surgeon.
He said: “Good news on the prostate. It’s been cut down to a sensible size and everything is good there.
“But on the lump we took out, we found follicular lymphoma.”
It’s a type of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
I went for scans to see if it had spread. It hadn’t. But I was still suffering the after effects of my prostate operation. All the antibiotics and other medication had knocked me about a lot, I was really weak and tired.
The band had just started work on our latest album, 13, so I got the guys together to tell them the bad news. Ozzy came in and said: ‘Oh yeah, didn’t so and so die from that?’ Which is exactly not what you want to hear.
I thought: ‘Thanks a lot, Mr Bloody Cheerful.’ But that’s Ozzy all over, he always puts his foot in it.
It was a relief to be working on the album because it gave me something to focus on instead of sitting there waiting to die.
Some days I could join in, other days I felt too ill. But the band knew it would be like that.
Once I got over my prostate operation the doctors started chemotherapy. I needed six courses of chemo, one every three weeks.
It takes about six or seven hours to give it you on a drip.
I had to change my whole lifestyle, including in the studio. We laugh about how different it was this time. In the good old days there was cocaine everywhere.
This time we had tea and coffee and health drinks that my wife, Maria, made for me because I’ve had to change my diet.
Thankfully red wine is still on the menu, though. I’m determined to hold on to as many of those little pleasures as possible.
I can still go out for dinner with my friends, Jasper Carrott and ELO drummer Bev Bevan, too, but I have to ask if we can eat a little bit earlier these days.
Nobody is used to going to eat at 7pm, but I don’t have the energy to eat late and go out drinking until 2am. I need to go to bed early. It’s not very rock ’n’ roll, but it works for me.
Because I had two different operations at the same time, one on my prostate and one on my lymph nodes, I had too many scans last year and too much radiation.
So I can’t have any more scans yet. Every day I feel around for lumps and bumps. Every time I get a pain in my stomach I think, ‘Oh God, it’s cancer’. It’s horrible. I even dream about it.
But that’s my life now. The surgeon told me he doesn’t expect the cancer to go away. There’s a 30 per cent chance that it could, but more than likely it will come back and it could be any time.
I look at life differently now. I could be here another 10 years or just one year – I don’t know.
Sometimes I wonder if I should try to live a more peaceful life. Then I think, ‘I don’t want to let the illness take over’. After all, I enjoy where I’m at now.
I’ve even become a guest lecturer at Coventry University after they awarded me an honorary doctorate.
If someone had suggested that to me years ago I’d have turned it down, but I’ve been through a lot and I’ve learned from it, so it feels good to pass that on.
These kids are fans too, so I love spending time with them. After everything that has happened, I couldn’t wish for anything better than that.”
