Whom Gods Destroy, the formidable new progressive metal group formed by
keyboardist Derek Sherinian, guitarist Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal, and vocalist Dino
Jelusick, along with the potent rhythm section of bassist Yas Nomura and
drummer Bruno Valverde, are releasing their debut album “Insanium” worldwide
today via InsideOutMusic.
In order to celebrate the album’s release date, Whom Gods
Destroy are now launching a lyric video created by Wayne Joyner for
the track “The Decision”.
Whom Gods Destroy guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal commented about
“The Decision” as follows:
“This song is filled with duality - djenty math metal riffs with
contrasting slow clean chord movements, vocal and guitar lines answering each
other, and lyrics about struggling with a life-and-death decision, with song
sections that score differing points of view...hope vs defeat, euphoria vs
despair, internally battling it out.”
And Whom Gods Destroy vocalist Dino Jelusick added
the following comment about today’s album release:
“Super proud of this chaos that we delivered. Each song on this album is a
story for itself and it works as a whole. I cannot wait to tour this album and
for us to finally play these songs live!"
