3rd Degree - The Raising is the long awaited, final chapter of Gemini Syndrome's debut trilogy of albums; the first being 2013's Lux, and the second being 2016's Memento Mori. But whereas those first two albums dealt with the painful struggles of life and death, 3rd Degree - The Raising celebrates the extreme rituals of rebirth. Official release date: October 15th, 2021. Additional details can be found below.

"The album is about death and rebirth. Finding your true self and fostering its growth so as to help build the world better than we inherited it," says Gemini Syndrome vocalist Aaron Nordstrom. "In the process of this record I made some major life choices. Mainly to stop killing myself slowly with alcohol. Two years without a drink, and a couple near death experiences later, I think I have ample experience to talk about a subject as elusive as death."

Drummer Brian Steele Medina adds: "The twist to the 3rd and "final" degree, is that it's not the end at all. Rather, it's a rebirth contingent upon our growth and lessons learned from the suffering of our past mistakes. A spiritual growth that can only be attained through baptism by fire. A metaphorical, yet very real resurrection - THE RAISING."
