Adelaide alternative metal quintet alt. have announced their dark new concept EP, Nevermore, will be out on Friday May 15 via Resist Records (AU) and SharpTone Records (ROW). They’ll launch it live in Adelaide at Lion Arts Factory on Saturday June 20.
Diving into the dystopian vision behind Nevermore, vocalist Daniel Richards unravels the core narrative of the EP: “‘Nevermore‘ is a concept EP set in the year 2073, where Earth has been pushed to the brink of collapse by war, corruption and unchecked consumption. With the planet left barely habitable, escape is a luxury reserved for the wealthy, while the rest are forced to fight for survival, earning their passage off-world through bloodshed.
Following our unnamed protagonist, the story is a desperate journey from the ruins of Earth to the promise of a new world: Nephilim. But what awaits is far from salvation. Beneath the surface lies a familiar darkness, one that threatens to repeat humanity’s past mistakes. As history begins to repeat itself, ‘Nevermore‘ evolves into a tale of awakening and revolution. Realising the cycle must be broken, our protagonist ignites a revolution against a ruthless regime, determined to reclaim freedom and rewrite the future before it’s too late.”
