Parisian composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist James Kent, better known as PERTURBATOR, has released his highly anticipated new album Age of Aquarius via Nuclear Blast Records. Mastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Ghost, Opeth), the record is now available for streaming and purchase worldwide.
Featuring collaborations with Ulver, Alcest, Author & Punisher, and Greta Link, Age of Aquarius merges dark electronic intensity with metal and atmospheric experimentation, exploring identity, technology, and transcendence through a cinematic sonic journey.
The release is accompanied by the new single “Lady Moon”, a hypnotic, ethereal track led by Greta Link’s haunting vocals and paired with a visually striking anime-style video directed by Victorien Aubineau. Drawing inspiration from Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and Appleseed, the video unfolds in three acts, reflecting the song’s exploration of individuality and empowerment.
Speaking about the track, Kent explained: “‘Lady Moon’ is about individualism and the power of self — in a world where people seem to increasingly need to belong to something greater. It’s about being that something greater yourself.”
Critics have praised Age of Aquarius as one of Perturbator’s most ambitious works to date — a seamless blend of industrial power, synth-driven atmosphere, and conceptual depth.
En noviembre, Perturbator iniciará una extensa gira por Reino Unido y Europa, con presentaciones en venues icónicos como el O2 Forum Kentish Town de Londres y dos noches en Le Bataclan de París, consolidando su posición como una de las figuras más visionarias de la música electrónica contemporánea.
