Matt Miller Unleashes New Album: Fiber Tormentum
Tech death virtuoso Matt Miller is set to release his much-anticipated album, Fiber Tormentum, through Exitus Stratagem Records on September 12.
A Journey Born from Adversity
Following his notable stints with renowned bands like Rings of Saturn and Possessed, Miller’s solo venture emerged as a creative response to the challenges posed by the pandemic. This project features an impressive lineup of collaborators, including Jordan Kelso on drums and synth, Justice Robinett on bass, and Biko Wright handling vocal duties.
A Bold Musical Statement
“This album is the most ambitious project I’ve ever worked on. We pushed ourselves to our limits, never settled, and created something that’s both technically brutal and emotionally resonant. It’s a glimpse into our lives, our evolution, and our vision for what metal can be,” Miller expressed, reflecting on the creative process behind Fiber Tormentum.
Album Artwork and Concept
The striking album artwork, created by the late Joshua Nassaru Ward of Voraath, encapsulates the album’s central theme: the manipulation of human DNA and the potential risks that accompany such advancements. The title itself draws inspiration from Roman history, symbolizing the tension of a ballista’s ropes ready to unleash its power.
