Released January 9th, 2025

Avant-garde Death Metal project IMPLANT SOUL has officially released their debut album “Artefact” , now available on all major streaming platforms. Fusing Avant-garde and Progressive Death Metal , the album explores powerful themes of duality—organic vs synthetic, pleasure vs pain—with a dynamic lineup of elite underground talent.

Spearheaded by composer and guitarist Ivan Lozovskyi (guitar and bass on tracks 2, 4, 6), the core lineup includes Dmitry Kim (drums, mixing, mastering), Tata Early (bass), and Jerome Burns (trumpet). “Artefact” also features an all-star cast of guest musicians: Brian Kingsland of NILE on “The Infernal Crux,” Eugene S. Robinson of BUÑUEL and OXBOW on “Ecstasy of Flame” and “Like Smoke,” John Jarvis of SCOUR on “Bound,” Garett Bussanick of AEVITERNE on “Death Whispers in Fears,” Kyle Thomas of EXHORDER on “Drawn to the Flame,” and Will Smith of REEKING AURA on “Binded By Tendrils.”

With its experimental approach and Extreme Metal pedigree, “Artefact” is a must-hear for fans of VED BUENS ENDE , BUÑUEL , and SHINING .

IMPLANT SOUL is more than a band — it’s a vessel for transformation. “Artefact” is available now on all streaming platforms: https://artists.landr.com/055905629979
