Swiss blackened thrash/punk outfit Mandroïd Of Krypton has recently shared a new single titled “Veterans of the Cosmic War,” taken from their upcoming album, Cosmic Sarcophagus, set to launch on November 29 via MTAF Records.The single is now available for streaming via Invisible Oranges, who praised the track, stating, “the track we’re premiering today, ‘Veterans of the Cosmic War,’ where death metal makes first contact with Voivodian entities. Vocalist Gabriel Farine is largely responsible for the death metal presence, emphasizing his words with more bite than usual.”
Mandroïd Of Krypton shared their thoughts on the song: “The title is a nod to Blue Öyster Cult's ‘Veteran of the Psychic Wars,’ but here our droids veterans are called upon to fight again in a dehumanized world aboard their ghost ships. This track is a great example of M.O.K.’s genre-bending style, showcasing the album's most aggressive vocals mixed with clean hallucinated-priest parts.”
If you missed it, the album's leading single "The Waltz of Death" is still playing at this location. Geneva-based blackened thrash/punk outfit Mandroïd Of Krypton is set to release their highly anticipated third album, Cosmic Sarcophagus, on November 29, 2024, via MTAF Records. After a nine-year hiatus since their last release Hyperkaossmarket, the band returns with a heavier, more aggressive sound that merges their progressive tendencies with raw energy and old-school black metal intensity.
Cosmic Sarcophagus delves deep into science fiction and ecological dystopias, with the band's signature blend of gritty vocals, thunderous riffs, and atmospheric passages. Featuring a mix of clean, chanted parts and raw, visceral black metal tones, the album channels influences from early Voïvod, Dead Kennedys, and Mayhem, crafting a unique retro-futuristic journey.
The album will be available digitally and on a limited edition silver vinyl (250 copies), distributed by Irascible in Switzerland and Season of Mist worldwide. Prepare for an immersive and intense sonic experience that explores the dark corners of dystopian futures.
