Progressive metal originals LORD OF MUSHROOMS have announced they will release their new album Perspectives on February 27th via Lion Music.

Guitairst Laurent James commented: “Concept albums are a tradition with the band, and Perspectives is definitively more audacious and will encourage the listener to dig deeper into the lyrics to understand all the hidden meanings. Perspectives follows the path of a strange character, and analyses his thoughts during this initiatory journey of his. As the key to the story is only revealed at the end of the album, we cannot clearly detail every chapter specifically, but the goal of this concept was mainly to bring contemporary human matters to a different and somehow weirder level, and let the listener understand that, in the end, everything is but a matter of perspectives! Musically speaking this album definitely has a much darker atmosphere, our previous releases sounded very positive and bright; we just needed this new balance. Changes in the line-up of the band have definitively matured Lord Of Mushroom’s music. The songs are catchier, with a harsher and more distinctive vocal delivery.”

The album was mixed in Canada by Richard Chycki (RUSH, AEROSMITH, JAMES LA BRIE, DREAM THEATER) and mastered in the US by Andy VanDette (Rush, DEEP PURPLE, PORCUPINE TREE). The album artwork was design by artist Travis Smith (OPETH, DEVIN TOWNSEND, NEVERMORE).
