The day has arrived! Sydney's Above, Below are finally unleashing their debut album 'The Lotus Chapters', a concept album that has taken a few years to perfect but is now ready to be shared with the world. In addition to this, the band have also announced that they will be launching this monster album live at a hometown show October 25!
Leading the way for 'The Lotus Chapters' were singles "Beyond The Mosaic Lake", "Labyrinth" and "Blood Wine", which teased listeners with a taste of brutal heavy segments against intricate, soaring highs that rounded out each musical masterpiece, providing something for everyone. Each track has made its debut on both triple j programs Short. Fast. Loud and The Racket, have received media love worldwide and have had adds to RAGE. Above, Below currently have five tracks respectively making the rounds in Spotify editoral playlists Got Djent, Deathcore and Homegrown + Heavy, which is home to over 300,000 followers collectively.
A seamlessly composed concept album recorded, mixed and mastered by Nicholas Page at STL Studios (Tapestry, The Beautiful Monument, In Hearts Wake) , the body of work weaves through the various stages of life guided by the extended metaphor of a lotus flower beginning as a seed, flourishing and eventually blooming. Throughout the 12 tracks the ideas of growth, learning, maturity, darkness, light, harmony and acceptance are navigated and contemplated to form an overarching image of what it means to be human and what it is to exist.
Above, Below will play Sydney's The Burdekin Hotel on Friday October 25 to flaunt their latest creation with support from Melbourne's To Octavia and local talent in The Wandering, Artisan and Elision.
Above, Below's debut album 'The Lotus Chapters' is out now to stream and purchase at all good online outlets and streaming platforms at https://ffm.to/abovebelow_tlcalbum. Tickets to the album launch available at Eventbrite!
