Rimouski, Quebec space-themed, orchestral metal band Vortex are dropping their concept EP Alien Realms tomorrow. Before it gets released everywhere, you can stream it here.

The cosmic horror-themed album features a lot of melody and orchestral elements paired with aggressive riffing and straightforward metal. Like their previous two records, the album is all about venturing into space and searching for life beyond our planet.

The band say about the record:

“This is a Blackened Death EP that blends massive orchestral elements, soaring epic melodies, and relentless, aggressive riffing. On this new EP, we doubled down on what worked best in our previous album, The Future Remains in Oblivion. If you’re into massive orchestras and melodies blended with aggressive riffs and blackened death vocals, then Alien Realms is for you.”

The band will also be touring Eastern Canada with France’s XAON in April and then Europe in the fall.
