U.K. death metal band Ingested has released “Pantheon,” the latest single from its upcoming full-length, “The Tide of Death and Fractured Dreams,” due April 5, 2024, via Metal Blade Records (pre-order here.)
While Ingested was in a solid headspace creatively while working on the new album, the band members were weighed down by personal traumas and frustrations they’ve faced in recent years. Such issues ultimately inspired the album title. “It’s essentially a metaphor for trying to make it through life and forging a career for yourself, including all the hurdles that come your way,” vocalist Jason Evans said.
Some of the conflicts for the band were rooted in depression and insecurity, a condition that fueled the themes behind “Pantheon.” Right at a time when the band was playing huge shows to devoted crowds and hanging with bands they’ve admired for years (including Dying Fetus and Suffocation) and newer groups shaking the scene, (such as Lorna Shore and Sylosis), Evans was struggling with an identity crisis.
“I wrote ‘Pantheon’ when I was suffering from a heavy bout of imposter syndrome,” Evans said. “We’ve done all these big tours with all these huge bands, bands we grew up idolizing, and now we’re rubbing shoulders with giants so to speak. It’s about questioning if you belong, if you’re good enough, am I able to keep up with my peers? Can I fill the shoes of my idols once they are gone? Do I deserve it?”
