Datalysium is the second studio album by the American technical death metal band The Zenith Passage. It was released via Metal Blade Records on July 21, 2023.[3] It is the band's first release for Metal Blade, with whom they signed in December 2022.[4] Commercially, it is the band's first album to chart; reaching No. 4 on the Billboard Top New Artists Albums Chart.[5] The album is the band's first to feature vocalist Derek Rydquist, guitarist Christopher Beattie, and bassist Brandon Giffin.[3]

Background

In August 2021, two former members of The Faceless, Derek Rydquist and Brandon Giffin, joined the Zenith Passage, and the band released a new track titled "Algorithmic Salvation."[6]

In December 2022, the band announced that they had signed with Metal Blade Records, and were in the process of writing two new releases, which would be produced by Dave Otero.[4]

In April 2022, the band released the track "Synaptic Depravation" with an accompanying music video.[7]

On May 15, 2023, the band announced the title of their upcoming LP, Datalysium and shared the album's album art and release date, July 21.[8] The band also debuted the single "Lexicontagion,"[9] and released the album's track listing.[10]

On June 14, 2023, the band released the single "Divinertia II" with an accompanying music video.[11]

The title track along with an accompanying video were released on the day of the album's release, July 21.[12]

The album was recorded partially at Justin McKinney's home studio, and partially at Derek Rydquist's apartment.[12] Some of the album's vocals were tracked at Flatline Audio with Dave Otero who also handled mixing duties for the release.[12] Ryan Williams provided production for some of the album's bass and vocals, and McKinney handled tracking duties.[12]
