Multi-National death metal wizards Serocs are back! ‘And When the Sky Was Opened’ is a technical opus that explores the psychology of war and what world conflicts do to the human mind, both as an invader and as the invaded. Following the positive feedback from their previous album, ‘The Next’, Serocs has perfected those elements to create this extreme masterpiece of controlled chaos. Not only is ‘And When the Sky Was Opened’ bound together by lyrical concepts, the album features a cohesive musical theme that sees all eight tracks coalesce to create a singular aural experience. Described by the band as a much more varied experience than its predecessors, the album is a double-edged sword that features some of Serocs’ most technical and brutal material alongside their slowest and most crushing sections to date. ‘And When the Sky Was Opened’ was mixed by Neil Kernon (Nile) and mastered by Alan Douches.
