Nancy, France-based progressive death metal group Fractal Universe issued second full-length studio album Rhizomes Of Insanity on April 19th, 2019 through Metal Blade Records.
The outing can be streamed in its entirety via YouTube below.
“Rhizomes Of Insanity is a concept album based on a thought experiment around the concept of insanity,” commented vocalist / guitarist Vince Wilquin. “It questions the origins of it, and tries to define where we set its boundaries with ‘reason’. It eventually questions its place in our modern society and surmises that it has turned into an intrinsic, unavoidable but also necessary part of it and of every human being, which we’re trying to repress at all costs.”
