With a new record slated for Jan. 31, 2020, Fliege is back with teaser track "The Invisible Seam" now, streaming at Decibel.
After basing their 2017 demo on The Fly, the band continues drawing cinematic inspiration on The Invisible Seam, this time pulling from 1957's The Seven Seal.
Guitarist/vocalist Coleman Bentley explains:
Our demo tackled The Fly, but we soon realized we had to expand from that universe in order to have anything new to say. So for this one, we chose Bergman’s The Seventh Seal, the story of a Swedish knight returning home from the Crusades to find his homeland ravaged by the plague... Within the framework of that film, we tackle the nihilism of modern life and the paradox of depression – not wanting to live but not actively wanting to die.
It is the band's first full-length.
