The album, released via Theogonia Records on April 3rd, 2026, showcases a wide dynamic range, fusing blistering shred with cinematic textures. From the explosive “Sombrero Attack” to the atmospheric “Ethereal Horizon”, the record aims to redefine Drax’s artistic identity. The newly released official video for “Ethereal Horizon” provides a perfect visual accompaniment to the album’s expressive storytelling.
Theories of Imperfection features an impressive lineup of guest musicians, including:
- George Kollias – Drums
