Angelus Apatrida: 5th album 'Hidden Evolution' out in January; Title track music video released

The release of the upcoming 5th studio album by Spanish thrash metallers Angelus Apatrida is drawing nearer: 'Hidden Evolution' will be released on January 19th, 2015 via Century Media Records and therefor the band is now launching the album's first promotional video clip for the song 'End Man'.

The clip was directed by Adriana Lorente and Sara Cort, who already worked with Angelus Apatrida on their previews clips for 'You Are Next' and 'Blast off', and the band commented about it as follows:

"Behind the meaning of 'End Man' lies the desperation of someone who has reached the limit, on the verge of exploding. Going though certain tough situations in life creates inner demons that sometimes show when least expected. That feeling of stressing intensity is present during the whole song, only letting loose when choruses appear. Adriana and Sara have once again done an amazing work adapting the concept of the song to a video by melting the meaning of this track to the inner general concept of the album and its artwork, based around the astronaut with such an amazing and super detailed result"

The artwork for 'Hidden Evolution' was handled by Gyula Havancsák / Hjules.com, who has also decorated album sleeves for bands such as Annihilator, Destruction, Stratovarius, Grave Digger or also Nightingale. The standard track listing for the album, which was once again recorded in Moita, Portugal at Ultrasound Studio with producer Daniel Cardoso (Anneke Van Giersbergen, Anathema, etc.), reads as follows:


1. Immortal
2. First World of Terror
3. Architects
4. Tug of War
5. Serpents on Parade
6. Wanderers Forever
7. End Man
8. Speed of Light
9. I Owe You Nothing
10. Hidden Evolution

The song 'Speed of Light' will feature a lead guitar guest appearance by Chris Amott (Armageddon, ex-Arch Enemy).

'Hidden Evolution' will be released as special edition CD with an O-card packaging in its initial pressing, featuring a cover version of Deep Purple's 'Highway Star' as bonus. The 180 gr vinyl LP version will come with the entire album on CD as bonus and is available on black wax, but also as limited coloured editions in white (100x copies, via CM Distro USA) and light blue (200x copies, via CM Distro Europe).
