Nate Garrett is back with Spirit Adrift. Following his gothy 2024 side project Neon Nightmare, Garrett has returned to his main band with “Eternal Celestial Energy,” a new standalone single.
The track is a heavy, detuned dirge built around melodic low-end crush and Garrett‘s emotionally raw vocals — screaming and crooning through a storyline that cuts deep.
Garrett kept his comments on the song brief, but direct: “I can’t speak too much on this song, other than to say it’s probably the heaviest thing I’ve ever written, both sonically and emotionally. It was extremely difficult to make, but hopefully it will resonate with people who need some catharsis.”
He also confirmed that “Eternal Celestial Energy” is not tied to an upcoming album — but that one is coming.
Garrett added, “This is a standalone single. That said, the sixth and final Spirit Adrift album is approaching sooner than you realize. We will debut two brand new, never-before-heard songs at our upcoming show with Crowbar, Eyehategod, and Bl4ckm4gnet on 03/20. Thank you so much to all of you who made the show sell out.”
On a sad note, Garret also confirmed that the appearance will be the band’s last: “It will be Spirit Adrift‘s final performance. We look forward to the coolest possible farewell we could imagine, in one of the most metal cities in the world!”
Garrett closed with a nod to a recently lost legend: “In the words of our beloved Ozzy Osbourne… ✌🏻 ‘We love you all!’ ✌🏻”
