SAGEN Return With “Animus” A Brutal Descent Into the Chaos of War and the Machine Mind
SAGEN strike again with Animus, a blistering fusion of death, groove, technical, and progressive metal that drags listeners deep into a war-torn future. As the fifth single from their upcoming full-length album Whalefall, Animus captures the moment when the Ithradi, a once-united race, turn on each other, sparking a civil war that threatens to consume both their world and humanity’s.
The track is an explosive display of SAGEN’s creative mastery. Punishing riffs, intricate drum patterns, and Adam Cheatham’s commanding vocals collide in a sonic maelstrom that mirrors the chaos and futility of war. Stephen Hegarty’s precision in composition, performance, and production (Lacerate Studios) ensures that every moment cuts deep, from the razor-sharp solos to the apocalyptic atmosphere.
The lyrics paint a grim picture of control, ideology, and extinction: a reflection of humanity’s endless appetite for dominance and destruction. In Animus, empathy is weakness, and survival is the only truth left standing.
With Whalefall on the horizon, Animus continues to build anticipation for an album that promises to merge storytelling and metal in a way few bands can match. SAGEN’s world is dark, cerebral, and relentlessly heavy, and Animus is the next brutal chapter.
