The most famous Hungarian metal band in the world returns with new, unpredictable material. "Vivid Black" marks not only the already fourteenth studio album with new material from Ektomorf, but their most brutal and darkest ever! The band proves even after almost 30 years of existence that they can sound more intense, merciless and honest than ever before. The Corona Pandemic has left it's mark on the world. This was also the case with singer Zoli Farkas. Due to isolation he had to fight with depression, which he processes on the new Ektomorf album. Written in only three weeks (!), this hateful piece of work bangs directly into the ears and in an obscure way gives comfort to anyone who had similar emotional difficulties during the lockdowns. At the same time "Vivid Black" is a personal reckoning with everything and everyone who stirs up hate and forces people to be something they are not and do not want to be. Just a new, honest and insanely brutal album from Ektomorf. Be ready for the destruction of "Vivid Black" - the name says it all. Also available as Digipak CD.
