Sacramento, CA mathcore mavens, Journal, have announced their long awaited follow up album, ‘Chrysalis Ordalias,’ with an as yet unspecified release date of summer 2018. The album is the follow up to the critically acclaimed debut album, ‘Unlorja,’ which introduced many a fan to their brand of jazzy, proggy 8-bit video game influenced ‘nintendocore’ when it was unleashed on the world 8 years ago… basically an eternity ago in interwebs time.

This is some sick mathcore right here.

Journal have released a video clip featuring bits of new material from the forthcoming album, which can be viewed below:

With ‘Chrysalis Ordalias,’ Journal has further refined their signature blend of progressive metal, mathcore and epic video game passages to accompany you on a new grand adventure! The first single is set to premiere later this week, so keep an eye out for more information via Journal’s social media pages!
