ANGELUS APATRIDA’s Guillermo Izquierdo (Vocals/Guitars) checked in to comment as follows about the track: “Ever since I was a kid I’ve been fascinated by astronomy, the universe, the planets and the origin of life. I’ve always considered myself very interested in the UFO phenomenon and everything involving aliens and extraterrestrial forms of life. Since we started working on this song I had the feeling that I wanted to speak about that, emphasizing the ‘conspiranoid’ elements that consider that human life could be the result of much older civilizations that lived on planet earth way before us.”
Previously, the album’s first promotional video clip for the song “End Man”, which was directed by Adriana Lorente and Sara Cort (who already worked with ANGELUS APATRIDA on their previews clips for “You Are Next” and “Blast Off”), was launched here: https://youtu.be/y0KX624HvJ8 or within Germany here: https://www.muzu.tv/angelus-apatrida/end-man-official-video-video/2341779/ or check the song’s audio stream here: https://soundcloud.com/centurymedia/angelus-apatrida-end-man/s-1SdmN
The artwork for Hidden Evolution was handled by Gyula Havancsák / Hjules.com, who has also created album covers for bands such as ANNIHILATOR, DESTRUCTION, STRATOVARIUS, GRAVE DIGGER and NIGHTINGALE.
