DISCONNECTED SOULS Release New Track On Streaming Platforms Terry Bunch, September 27, 2023 DISCONNECTED SOULS Release New Track On Streaming Platforms Cinematic metal quintet DISCONNECTED SOULS have unleashed their new synth-driven, dark pop-esque single “Fragments”, featuring Jeremy Valentyne of NEW YEARS DAY, on streaming platforms. Taken from their debut conceptional album Fragments of Consciousness, to be released on January 19th, 2024, the quintet once again expand the boundaries of genres and styles explored in their music. “‘Fragments’ was an attempt to write a catchy synthpop track and was very heavily inspired by the band THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE. The structure is a lot more conventional than some of our others and uses comparatively few instruments; I wanted to focus on big sounds and hence the big focus on the bell pad synth. Funnily enough I actually wrote most of the track using just this because I felt particularly moved by it! As things progressed, the more experimental elements such as bird samples, 5/4 time signature section and choir harmony vocals came in. A particular highlight for me was that Jeremy Valentyne (NEW YEARS DAY) agreed to provide the guitar solo and he did a fantastic job of staying true to the original solo I wrote, but adding his own unique twist on it. I hope you enjoy!” – Fletch, band leader.

Following their debut EP Warring Elements in 2020, the band have since been releasing a diverse array of singles, leading up to the debut album. The quintet based out of Chester, England, strive to create a distinctive sound that draws upon the depths of metal, while playing with tones and textures. Each member brings a diverse range of musical interests to the table and the resulting sound encompasses a wide variety of instrumental and vocal styles. DISCONNECTED SOULS take their name from the growing disconnect between humans; both from each other but also within ourselves, as well as the increasing rift with the natural world.
