US extreme metallers Ominous Ruin have returned with a brand-new video, vocalist, and album, in the wings. “Seeds Of Entropy” has been issued ahead of the release of their latest record, Requiem, on May 9, 2025 through Willowtip Records. The new material is the latest to feature new vocalist Crystal Rose.
Speaking about the single, the band have said: “‘Seeds Of Entropy’ is an explosion of chaotic riffs, intense vocals and rapid-fire drums at a dizzying 270 beats per minute. The song begins after the intro to the album, a piano and guitar duet that represent a continuation from Ominous Ruin’s previous full length, Amidst Voices That Echo In Stone. Picking up from said album, ‘Seeds Of Entropy’ utilizes many of the same musical phrases and stylings, while expanding on motifs from Amidst Voices… at even faster speeds. Lyrically, ‘Seeds Of Entropy’ represents the beginning of inevitable slip into darkness as entropy consumes reality, both physical and mental form. A theme we seek to explore throughout the record.”
Discussing overall themes on the record, the band stated: “We consider the album a formidable leap forward in both musical complexity and emotional depth. To us, Requiem is a powerful exploration of the human psyche, the ravages of time, and the inevitable descent into oblivion. Its conception spawned from the raw emotion of personal issues and turmoil, as it was created during a dark time in the band’s lives.”
