SAGEN is set to release “Revelations,” the debut single from their highly anticipated album, *Whalefall*. The track delves into the intricate narrative of an interstellar conflict among the Ithradi, a powerful alien race. Central to the story is Chief Synthologist Gurutu, who uncovers a dark truth: humans possess the potential to be sacrificed to sustain the Ithradi’s immortality.
“Revelations” explores the intense moral dilemma faced by Gurutu during her mission on Earth. As the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, the song poses a haunting question: Is the Ithradi’s quest for eternal life worth the extinction of mankind?
“The hubris of eternal life.”
Sagen adeptly melds various stylistic nuances from death, groove, technical, deathcore, and progressive metal, crafting a distinct and ominous tapestry of innovative sounds. Their music thrives on captivating and powerful riffs, intricate and virtuosic guitar solos, complex and forceful drum patterns, alongside intense and aggressive vocals. Each Sagen album weaves a compelling narrative, leaving an indelible mark on the audience. Having debuted with three full-length albums—’Tides of Succession’ in 2016, ‘Mammoth’ in 2021, and ‘Roots of Proctor’ in 2023—the 2 man band is currently immersed in the creation of their next release, currently in the writing phase. Additionally, a book compiling these narratives is also in progress.
