Biography

Now officially signed to Nuclear Blast Records, the progressive heavy metal vehicle that is INTERLOPER has arrived to present its first collective effort as a band; A REVENANT LEGACY. With a full length album completed and set to be released in the near future, this EP serves as a stepping stone in the development of INTERLOPER as a whole. Constantly evolving as musicians; “this first release is a collection of songs that have been written over the course of a few years, morphed and evolved into what is, to us, the ‘first step’ in the direction of our sound as a band,” explains co-founder and drummer Aaron Stechauner. The straight forward album artwork presents the INTERLOPER symbol hovering amidst grey and stormy clouds. This logo will serve to represent INTERLOPER long into the future, with the tumultuous weather symbolizing underlying themes of overcoming the darker elements of existence and human condition. Songs like opener, AN EMERALD FLAME, examine a variety of life’s obstacles through the lens of “a dark love story,” describes guitarist Andrew Virrueta. “It’s about how you can get let down again and again, yet still feel that need to find a connection and revisit those emotions.” Apace with melodies sonically exemplifying these highs and lows; these solid depressions and enlightening rejuvenations, rapid, nimble guitar work, and weighty, emotional vocals sew themselves throughout the track, and continue on throughout the EP
