Album Details

The Canadian death metal band Harvested is set to release their highly anticipated new album, Dysthymia, on August 1. This marks their first major release since the 2022 demo and promises to blend technical, brutal, and old-school death metal into a unique sound that represents their artistic evolution.

New Single: “Harvested”

In celebration of the album launch, the band has released a stream of their self-titled track, “Harvested,” from the forthcoming album. The band describes this single as a true representation of their musical identity.

Band’s Insight on the Track

The band states, “The single represents what the band is about. The old-school death metal influences and the dark realities of mental illness put someone through a tortured experience. This was the first song we worked on for this album and played live, which set the bar for the remaining material. We realized that we were onto something special, and the sheer brute force of the track compelled us to make our current music video.”

Furthermore, they emphasize that “’Harvested’ maintains the brutality from the demo but shifts toward exploring the psychological aspects of mental illness rather than relying solely on gore. It’s heavier, more aggressive, and showcases the band’s musical abilities in ways they’ve never presented before.”

Album Development

Over the course of three years, Dysthymia was crafted by the band’s lineup, which includes Mitchi Dimitriadis (guitars), Adam Semler (vocals), Eric Forget (bass), and Jacob Collins (drums). The album was produced by Harvested themselves, with mixing and mastering handled by Joe Lyko of Darkmoon Productions.
