“House at the Centre of the Universe” is the second album from the Australian progressive rock / heavy metal group FLITCRAFT. While the first album boasted hard rock with some psych undertones, the new album adds more energy and sonic scope, in addition to being a narrative concept album, to make this an even more adventurous journey. The band has joined forces with Pitch Black Records to present this album on CD + LP + streaming on April 28th, 2023.
From the Pitch Black Records press release:
"“House at the Centre of the Universe” at its core is a hard rock album; dressed with the flair and spirit of progressive rock and heavy metal. It seeks to create a sound and scope of adventure and excitement. Taking cues from classic albums of the last 50 years, this album can be described as an Australian rock experience that owes as much to classic Judas Priest and Megadeth as it does to 70’s Rush and Wishbone Ash, blending elements from all seamlessly into a cohesive whole.
FLITCRAFT’s new effort is also a narrative concept album in the tradition of Queensryche’s “Operation: Mindcrime” or King Diamond’s “Abigail”. It’s a self-contained original science fiction story about a young man in the year 2137; Uly is a half human / half android being on a physical and spiritual journey to the “House at the Centre of the Universe”.
In one sense the album can be immensely enjoyed as a whole – it’s a ride from start to finish – but the songs are also definitely individual statements that stand alone."
