Blackened death metal collective Visitant returns with their second single “Starless”, from their upcoming debut album “Rubidium” out on August 22nd, via Exitus Stratagem Records. A technical odyssey that further explores the band’s signature blend of aggressive brutality and ethereal beauty, “Starless” follows the successful release of debut single “Fodder”. Deepening the immersive experience that has already captivated fans of extreme metal. The band comments on “Starless”:
“Probably the heaviest and darkest track on the album. We chose this as a single for that reason. The intro feels beautiful yet morose, then it’s just gritty and powerful the whole way through. Definitely a favorite among my bandmates. There is so much restless spirit in this song.”
Lyrically, the single is about self-preservation and protection, in a way. It embraces dark femininity and evokes the embodiment of wrath and vengeance. It speaks from grief in the angry stage. This one has a very bleak and somber atmosphere as Visitant channels pain through it.
The track showcases the collaborative strength of Visitant‘s seasoned lineup, with Taylor Tidwell’s (Unaligned) haunting guitar work serving as the foundation for Anthony Lusk-Simone’s (Abiotic, Lattermath) orchestral passages and thunderous drumming, while Kilian Duarte’s (Abiotic, Scale the Summit) monstrous bass lines drive the composition forward with unrelenting intensity. Chelsea Marrow’s (Voraath) commanding vocals tie the elements together, channeling the essence of vengeful spirits through her powerful delivery.
The single continues to build anticipation for Visitant‘s debut album “Rubidium”, which the band describes as ‘shadow work’, embodying the bleakest parts of being human, including grief, loss, betrayal, vengeance, time lost, and regret. Recommended for fans of Gojira, Opeth, and Naglfar, Visitant is preparing to bring their haunting live experience to audiences, with upcoming performances including Michigan Metal Fest in August.

“Visitant is here to utterly wreck your morning thanks to their brand new single “Fodder”, the first offering from their upcoming album Rubidium due out on August 23 via Exitus Stratagem Records.

“Emerging from the shadowy fringes of the metal scene, blackened death metal outfit Visitant has unleashed their riveting debut single, “Fodder.” Released as a precursor to their eagerly anticipated first full-length album, “Rubidium,” the track invites listeners into a deeply atmospheric yet punishing sonic landscape.” – See Rock Live Magazine
“Uniting seasoned musicians from the Extreme Metal underground scene with members known for their previous works in Abiotic, Scale the Summit, Unaligned and Voraath, Blackened Death Metal quartet Visitant have spent the better part of three years crafting a debut album. The promise is of something dark, beautiful, visceral and compelling with single “Fodder” an almost ritualistic journey that weaves ethereal elements into an unrelentingly aggressive soundscape. Turning personal experiences into ghost stories for the half an hour of power that is “Rubidium” caught the attention of Exitus Stratagem Records who will distribute the affair on 29th August.” – Metal Noise
“Visitant weaves ethereal elements into a soundscape that is as haunting as it is aggressive. Lyrically and musically, the band crafts immersive dreamscapes – ritualistic and unrelenting” – DNA Entertainment
