[ "Metalmorphosis" • Official Video ]


The band comments on the video:
"The song offers everything you'd expect from a Thrash anthem:
furious speed, relentless aggression and a healthy dose of humor. 'Metalmorphosis' is a wild track that breaks genre boundaries with a wink. The music video for 'Metalmorphosis' shows SUBLIND at their best - with wit, chaos and a good dose of self-irony: it's about an old man who leads a dreary life and comes to Metal through us as a band. The elderly gentleman undergoes a 'Metal morphosis', so to speak. It reads just as absurd as the video really is!"



When the ear canals glow:
SUBLIND takes back the listeners and fans to the inspiring spirit of the 80s. The approach to THRASH METAL is also recognizable in the - partially - corny lyrics and in the band's general attitude, as shown on all records they released.

After a huge amount of gigs and smaller tours, SUBLIND dropped the very well received "The Cenosillicaphobic Sessions" in March 2023, followed in 2025 by the brand-new EP beast "Metalmorphosis"!

The title may sound familiar as it is also a song from their 2014 album "Thrashing Delirium". Contrary to expectations, there will be no new songs on "Metalmorphosis", but six old ones that have been re-recorded.

The band explains the new artwork:
"The cover of the EP 'Metalmorphosis' was created by Dan Goldsworthy. He is best known in the Metal scene as an artist, and we just love his artworks. The cover shows Goldsworthy at his best: a pub fight with zombies during the night taking place in a Metal pub. All the Thrash clichés are packed in here! The cover is inspired by the artwork of our album 'Thrashing Delirium', which was released in 2014. The upcoming EP contains 6 old and newly recorded songs from that album, now wrapped in a punchy sound with much more brutality. Goldsworthy received the old cover as a reference from us, and we requested a few changes, like depicting the same chaotic scene but without us as a band being featured. He suggested the colors, and we found them interesting since we hadn't initially considered them. They are just as brilliant and completely new to us, but they fit the style, the sound, and the music perfectly. It's a real eye-catcher, and Goldsworthy absolutely nailed it! There are also many Easter eggs hidden in the cover, like the old cover as a poster in the corner. Ever had Coroner beer? All in all, we are very excited about his artwork—no one could have done it better. Dan is an incredibly pleasant and professional artist, and it was a joy to work with him. We are happy he is a part of this project."

Over the years, many songs have evolved with the five-piece and now sound more brutal, faster, and more mature. SUBLIND have often wondered what these songs would sound like today, and so they have been enthusiastically brought back to life!

This new record pays homage to those days and does not only celebrates tracks that still remain integral to their shows, but also includes songs that deserve more attention. So these re-recorded and rearranged "classics" appear in a new splendour!

FLASHBACK:
Founded in late 2005/early 2006 by four enthusiastic Luxembourgian teenagers, SUBLIND stands strong for honest and furious Thrash Metal in all its intensity and originality. The greatest influences for the unstoppable five-piece around singer Luca are especially Thrash Metal bands from the eighties and nineties.

After many concerts in all these years and a few line-up changes so far, today the band combines fast and thrashy riffs with scratchy growls. Their merciless and sweaty live shows are full of outbreaks of highest energies, in which the quintet intends to include the audience with their clear-cutted choruses and a constant interaction with the fans. A long-standing live experience and tremendous fun with some liters of beer are guaranteed!

SUBLIND has shared all kinds of stages and plays especially in clubs or small Metal festivals in Luxembourg and abroad. So far, they already had the opportunity to share bigger stages with international acts like Exodus, Death Angel, Tankard, Warbringer, Satyricon, Exhorder, Benediction, Gruesome, Crisix, Eyehategod, Desaster, Alestorm, Carach Angren and many local heroes. In Luxembourg, nearly all major events have been played so far, but still the band stays hungry for more!
