LASTER commented on the title track: “With our new single ‘Andermans Mijne’ we seek to reaffirm our love for twists and turns”, drummer Wessel explained on behalf of the trio and went on to state: “The title track sets a densely layered, hypnotic tone for what is to come. Both halves of the song teasingly object against the listener’s expectation. Expressions of cross-cultural lifestyles in late modernity, adultery, playful innuendos, and the self-other relation per se are deemed as central themes of the music’s dissonance, which become laid bare on this track.”

LASTER did not only stun the audience at Prophecy Fest last weekend with their memorable performance, but the three masked Dutchmen have also revealed ‘Afgelopen tijd’ (‘expired time’ or ‘time run out’) as the final advance single taken from their forthcoming album Andermans Mijne. The stunning new full-length from the avant-garde metal trio is scheduled for release on October 13, 2023.

LASTER comment: “On ‘Afgelopen tijd’, we have pinned down our passion for a hybrid of swing and groove”, vocalist and guitarist Nicky explains on behalf of the trio. “Perhaps it’s the thrust of the drumming, which might wake memories of the ‘Stadsluik’ EP. Those two nocturnal tracks that seemed to be buried in the background of a wacky after-party. However, our guitars flow more than ever as crisp as high speed internet. They are accompanied by prominent bass lines that are eager to reject any atavistic dictate. So what does the clean singing command? Nothing. It should rather be perceived as a free roaming element that gets mixed up with an increasingly repressing harshness.”
