EDGED CIRCLE PRODUCTIONS are proud to announce the brand new second full length album “Spilling the Astral Chalice” from Slovenia’s progressive death metal force SIDEREAN. Worldwide release date is set to September the 13th 2024 and will be released on vinyl, jewelcase CD, a cassette in two variations and digital stream.
Past the edge of reason and harmony we find SIDERAN coming from space via Slovenia. Cosmic and deadly, atonal but harmonic. Adventurous and unlimited, their cosmic and technical approach to metal does not in any way stand in the way of elegant brutality and force. Yet, it’s a more intelligent force and a more stellar brutality. SIDERAN offers a unique blend of both dissonance and harmony. Freedom of generic arrangements is the key. It’s also wonderfully liberating listening to the easiness of the craftsmanship. Sometimes complexity sounds forced and natural. This is not the case with SIDEREAN.
The new album follows up 2021´s Lost on Void´s Horizon even better than we had anticipated. SIDEREAN is a unique and special spectral stone than shines like an illuminated diamond in the night sky, trailing the galaxies and nebulae SPILLING THE ASTRAL CHALICE wherever it might suit them.
This new exploration was recorded and mixed by Anze Canzek at Negligence Studios, mastered by Gabriele Gramaglia at Crepuscular Sound Studio and wrapped in stellar artwork courtesy of Fernando JFL. Be sure not to miss SPILLING THE ASTRAL CHALICE on the 13th of September…oh and also absolutely do NOT miss the band on tour throughout Europe in September as well!

"This is Death Metal, through and through, but it also has an air of sophistication to it. Many of its mysteries are hidden in its layers, and you have to peel them back to experience them. As technical as it is Progressive, it hits the listener on a variety of levels and emotions, and makes one think deeply. My only complaint about the album is that I want more…the darkness summons."

"(...) after sitting with this album for just over a month. The thing is that it still calls for more listens, not only because there is surrealistic pleasures and devious challenges faceted in their work but because I still feel there is yet more to delve into per the lyrics, the greater meaning of their work and it deserves even more time given for it to ripen in mind. A highest possible recommendation."
