Visitant Share Their New Single and Video for “Rubidium”

Posted on by

Blackened death metal collective, Visitant, have dropped the official video for their single, “Rubidium.” It is the title track from their debut album, which was unleashed on August 22nd, via Exitus Stratagem Records. The release sets the stage for Visitant’s upcoming In the Wake of Flame Tour, running through Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, and North Carolina, culminating in a performance at the Tennessee Metal Devastation Fest. Catch the new video and more below.

The album explores themes of grief, betrayal, and vengeance, with each track acting as a chapter in a dark spiritual journey. As vocalist Chelsea Marrow puts it, “After you listen to the album from beginning to end, you feel like you were just on the biggest journey. It evokes all sorts of feels. Like damn… I feel like I was audibly hit by a big ol’ bus. In a good way… if there was a good way!”

​“Rubidium” is a sonic and lyrical descent into mythic horror. The track conjures a deity that feeds on human souls to nourish the forest floor, with trees bearing hauntingly human faces and worshippers willingly surrendering to the soil. Guitarist Taylor Tidwell, inspired by serpentine imagery, crafted riffs that slither and strike, while the band’s signature orchestral layering and thunderous rhythm section elevate the track into a cinematic nightmare. The “Rubidium” video captures this eerie mythology with stark visuals and ritualistic intensity, setting the tone for the tour’s immersive live experience.​

​Visitant’s debut album Rubidium has already made waves for its genre-defying sound. Featuring seven tracks of ritualistic brutality, the record blends orchestral grandeur with guttural rage. The lineup includes riff architect Taylor Tidwell (Unaligned), drums and orchestration by Anthony Lusk-Simone (Abiotic, Lattermath), bassist Kilian Duarte (Abiotic, Scale the Summit), growler Chelsea Marrow (Voraath, Doom Eternal, Hellblade II), and Thomas Weidick, on guitar, who recently joined their live lineup this past June.
