Not even one year out from their 2020 album Enlightened in Eternity, Spirit Adrift is back with a new single called "Forge Your Future" and a new EP of the same name out August 27. Spirit Adrift guitarist and vocalist Nate Garrett said the new songs are a direct result of the pandemic, and explore the power of perseverance through difficult times.
"On March 1, 2020, I relocated to the woods outside of Austin, Texas. Two weeks later, everything was locked down. I turned to the thing that has helped me navigate difficult situations for most of my life: writing music. I wrote and demoed a ton of songs over the course of the pandemic," said Garrett.
"The songs on this E.P. are the best of the bunch. Marcus, Preston, and I recorded these in March of 2021 at Homewrecker Recording Studio with Ryan Bram at the helm. Zeuss handled mixing and mastering, after lengthy discussions about Martin Birch, Tom Allom, Crowbar, and how important it is to carry forth the essence and spirit of heavy metal. Special thanks to our friend Cody Davis for the brilliant title.
"These songs, and this band, represent persevering through difficult times, staying true to your innermost self, and celebrating the life-affirming power of metal. We can’t wait to see you all live and in the flesh, in the meantime we hope you enjoy the tunes."
Pre-orders for Forge Your Future are available here.
