Kardashev deliver new song "Seed of the Night" along with music video

Tempe, AZ progressive death/post metal outfit Kardashev have shared their latest single, "Seed of the Night," taken from the group's upcoming third album, Alunea, releasing on April 25th via Metal Blade Records. Music video directed by Nico Mirolla and Felix Ruldolph.

Vocalist Mark Garrett offered the following on the new album:

We've been weaving a sci-fi narrative since our EP Progression, but not every release is part of that overarching story. The releases that do belong to this continuing mythos include Progression, Excipio, The Almanac, and now Alunea. We refer to these as part of The Kardashev Mythos.

Alunea is a direct sequel to The Almanac, picking up right where the song "Beyond Sun and Moon" leaves off. This album is particularly exciting because, while the earlier entries in The Kardashev Mythos explored broad, conceptual themes, the storytelling has become more detailed and focused.

In Alunea, the main character from The Almanac encounters a being created in Continuum from Excipio, leading to a deep philosophical exploration of responsibility and duty. Are we bound to the roles we are born into? Is it ethical to bring new life into a world filled with suffering? Rather than providing definitive answers, the album delves into these questions, offering a thoughtful and immersive journey.
