Hailing from Salt Lake City, Eidola has released not one but two new singles “Perennial Philosophy” and “Hidden Worship”. The tracks are taken from their upcoming album “The Architect” out on September 17 via Blue Swan Records/Rise Records. Speaking on “Perennial Philosophy”, vocalist Andrew Wells shares:
“Conceptually inspired by an Aldous Huxley novel of the same name, ‘Perennial Philosophy’ explores an array of theological implications through the lens of anthropology. The song attempts to decipher objective truths in a sea of lies and deceptions. The lyrics imply that universal wisdom is paramount when sifting through parasocial biases and historical context while defining the purpose of human consciousness.”
Wells also commented on “Hidden Worship” and said: “Hidden Worship provides a concise introduction to the themes of chaos, introspection, despair, forgiveness, and redemption that compose the narrative woven throughout “The Architect”. The song sets the stage for a protagonist’s journey through the end of the world to the darkest depths of hell.”
