Civerous is now streaming their death-doom-heavy new single "Shrouded In Crystals", whose eight-minute runtime includes everything from cavernous riffs to an impressive solo from drummer Aidan Neuner.
"'Shrouded In Crystals' was the first song we wrote for the album, beginning the journey through the Maze, headed towards an overwhelming obsession in the center," said Civerous of the single.
"It showcases the entire band, with a drum solo, individual bass break, cave diving guitar riffs, and brutal vocals. There's even a guitar motif that some may notice in 'Labyrinth Charm' as well, an expression of songwriting talent from our guitarist Alonso Santana. We wanted to show the evolution of technicality within the band but still stay true to our death-doom origins."
Civerous will release their 20 Buck Spin debut Maze Envy on March 22. Maze Envy was engineered, mixed, and produced by Andrew Solis (Apparition) at Deadstare Audio with additional engineering by Kevin McCombs at The Steakhouse, North Hollywood, and mastered by Nick Townsend at Infrasonic Sound. The record features cover art by Juanjo Castellano (Majesties, Voidceremony, Avulsed, Gates Of Ishtar), photography by Juliet Guzman, and layout by Dan Fried.
