Termina has returned with a new piece of modern Metal with standalone single, “Translucent”, featuring guitarist Nik Nocturnal, who also handled other instrumentals, vocalist Andy Cizek (Monuments, Makari, WVNDER), and drummer Chris Turner (Oceans Ate Alaska). Mixed and mastered by Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Motionless In White, Coheed And Cambria, etc), “Translucent” has an AI-generated video produced by Patrick Lawler.
Nocturnal comments:
‘Translucent’ is the start of a brand new era for TERMINA. We took everything that we and our fans loved about our first album, ‘Dysphoria’, and used that as the foundation for this new song – but, we cranked it up to an 11 for this release: we decided to enlist a real drummer, Chris Turner (Oceans Ate Alaska), and get a professional mix/master from Zakk Cervini. The resulting single is pure insanity, plus catchier and heavier than ever before. There’s no question we’ve built the ultimate Modern Metal team for this one.
Regarding the song’s theme, Cizek adds: “‘Translucent’ is about being at war with yourself, feeling stuck in time, paralyzed by your own mind.”
Termina feels that Metalcore, djent and Deathcore are the “true triumvirate of modernity” in Metal, and combine them “with a solid Pop sensibility keeps it fresh, invigorating and truly progressive”.
