Spirit Adrift – Infinite Illumination

Description

The journey of Spirit Adrift has come full circle. With their sixth album in a decade, mastermind Nathan Garrett is ready to unleash the bands final chapter. Infinite Illumination, the Spirit Adrift swansong, is a return to the wellspring that first inspired it all and testament to a band that in the last 10 years has crafted an impeccable signature thoroughly their own, molded from the elemental matter of more than a half century of heavy metal exaltation.

Infinite Illumination has a directness to it, a sense of urgency and raw intensity. The songs feel inevitable, like they had to be driven out from deep within during a time of great upheaval. The fatalistic Born in a Bad Way summons a vengeful broken relic from another age that must live again and make them pay via Garretts swaggering snarl, while White Death impugns God shined on a chosen few, we must kill the rest of you. These songs have a palpable sense of malaise both spiritual and terrestrial, personal and universal, inflicted via crushing traditional Doom riffs, thunderous mid-tempo marches and Garretts impassioned vocal delivery.

Long after the band is gone fans will continue to discover the Spirit Adrift catalog and witness the breadth of greatness they delivered in just a decades time. Every melodic, epic and emotionally charged thread that defines the bands legacy honors the animating force behind pure creative ambition. And at its core Infinite Illumination carries both the weight of conclusion and the troubling realization that it is rarely painless to say farewell.
