France’s SPHERES Announces New Album “Shadows of Despair” with Progressively Extreme Single “Underworld”
Paris’ SPHERES have an invitation to a spiritual journey and dystopian dimension with the release of their new single “Underworld”. This is the first feast of new music since releasing their 2022 sophomore album “Helios”. The new track, recorded and mixed by Chris Edrich (Devin Townsend, Tesseract, Leprous), is a preview of their third full-length Shadows of Despair, set for release in October 2025.
Just like the world we live in, SPHERES’ sound is becoming increasingly extreme, and their new song “Underworld” asks the question: can we evolve without destroying ourselves? We don’t need to save the planet. The Earth has undergone several mass extinctions and will remain alive until our star, the sun, dies out. Humanity is less certain.
With “Underworld,” listeners will be struck by the multitude of contrasts and textures that inhabit SPHERES’ music: From sharp riffs to ethereal melodies, from clean singing to growls and screams, the atmosphere oscillates between dream and frenzy. Everything is designed to push the listener’s boundaries and invite them to take part in this expedition.
In additional news, SPHERES will be touring across Europe in 2025 (dates listed below).
Spheres has performed, among others, at Malmöfestivalen in Sweden, Hellfest and Ready For Prog in France, as part of their previous European tour in Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland, and France. They opened for bands such as Angra, Threshold, Hangman’s Chair, and Angelus Apatrida.
