Doom riff lords from USA Spirit Adrift are announcing a brand new music output, entitled 20 Centuries Gone. The 8-song collection features 2 new original and 6 cover songs, set for release on August 19th via Century Media Records. Featuring cover artwork by Brian Mercer and mixing by Zeuss, this release is a powerful journey through the past, present, and future of trad-metal’s most exciting new band. On this music effort, Spirit Adrift put their trademark swagger on classics from Type O Negative, Pantera, Metallica, Thin Lizzy, ZZ Top and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Check out the new track, "Sorcerer's Fate", via YouTube down under.




Mastermind Nate Garrett comments: "I always thought it would be a cool experience to record some songs by bands that are foundational to the DNA of Spirit Adrift These choices are obvious and on the nose to me, but maybe unexpected to the fans. That made the whole thing a lot of fun. A band like Lynyrd Skynyrd might not be the first thing you think of when considering Spirit Adrift’s influences, so the task for me became figuring out how to honor these great songs, but in the distinct Spirit Adrift style. To make the whole thing even more special, I channeled these influences and wrote a couple of new songs to kick things off. There’s a lyric in "Sorcerer's Fate" that mentions ‘past and future both aligned,’ and that became the concept here. The whole thing is presented in reverse chronological order. That way, you get a sense of where Spirit Adrift is headed, but you’re also taken on a journey back in time through our most fundamental influences. Hope y’all enjoy it!"
