Chicago’s own metal band, Immortal Bird, has recently released their latest album, Sin Querencia, after taking their time to perfect their craft. The band, now a three-piece, showcases their collaborative spirit and musical prowess on this new record. Recorded at Bricktop Recording with Pete Grossmann, Sin Querencia opens with the intense track “Bioluminescent Toxins,” setting the tone for the rest of the album.
The album explores themes of unease and uncertainty, with the title itself meaning to be without a safe place. Immortal Bird manages to capture the dread of the current world climate while also providing a sense of catharsis through their heavy, dark music. The band’s ability to seamlessly blend aggressive riffs with clean vocals and unexpected tempo changes keeps listeners engaged throughout the album.
Fans of Immortal Bird can catch them live at Reggies Rock Club for their Sin Querencia release party, which may be their last local show for some time as they plan to focus on touring next year. Joining them on the bill are Mother of Graves, Payasa, and Apophy, promising a night of intense metal music from a variety of bands.
In addition to the upcoming release party, Chicago metal fans should keep an eye on other upcoming shows in the area. From death-doom to hardcore to blackened thrash, the local music scene is thriving with a diverse range of talented bands ready to rock the stage. Make sure to mark your calendars and support these local acts as they continue to bring their unique sounds to audiences across the city.
