Defecto Announces New Album Details; Debuts LP’s Lead Single, Video

By: Philip Sayblack

Danish metal outfit Defecto will release its new album, Echoes of Isolation on Halloween.
In anticipation of the record’s release, the band recently unveiled its lead single, ‘Sacred Alignment’ and the song’s companion video. The song’s musical arrangement is an intense composition that blends melodic metal and prog-metal leanings for a whole that is a unique presentation. It is certain to engage and entertain audiences.

The song’s lyrical theme matches the energy in its musical arrangement as it takes on the topic of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and the stigma attached to the mental illness. Front man Nicklas Sonne discussed the song’s lryical theme in a prepared statement. “‘Sacred Alignment” digs into the reality of OCD – a condition that is so often misunderstood,” said Sonne. “It’s not about being neat or organized, it’s about living in a prison built by your own thoughts. It’s about the rituals that demand obedience, the fear that refuses to let go, and the endless fight for control in a world that feels like it’s collapsing without it. This song captures that battle – the brutality of the mind, and the strange balance between order and chaos”.

OCD is just one of the mental disorders examined in Defecto’s forthcoming album, according to Sonne. He said of the album’s overarching theme, “Each song inhabits a different psychological struggle – insomnia, schizophrenia, OCD, PTSD, paranoia, dissociation, trauma – giving voice to the war within. This isn’t just a metal album. It’s a mirror held to the mind.”

Sonne added, “For us, it’s about turning pain into power, and creating something that can connect deeply with anyone who has ever felt broken, isolated, or misunderstood.”
