Everchanger is the debut studio album by American metalcore band Invent Animate. The album was released on August 22, 2014, through Tragic Hero Records. It was produced by Brian Hood (Being as an Ocean, Gideon, The Crimson Armada) and Jesse Cash of Erra. The album is also the only and last to feature guitarist Logan Forrest before his departure from the band in late 2015.[1]
The band filmed a music video for "Nocturne: Lost Faith" that was released on July 22, 2014.[2] In an interview with Highwire Daze, vocalist Ben English discusses the background behind Everchanger[3]
"The album really touches base on how the world constantly changes. You can't ever rely on one thing because everything constantly changes. No matter what you're doing in life. Everchanger is like a way of wrapping it all up into one thing and titling it. It touches all points of major changes that we go through and talks about all the different things I've personally been through and even some of the guys in the band."
New Transcendence gave the album an almost perfect score 9/10 and saying: "Feel the ebb and flow of nature pulsing through your headphones—plug in Everchanger and get completely lost. Invent Animate do wondrous job of inventing an immersive, engaging blend of hard-hitting heaviness and awe-inspiring atmosphere, and then animate it, bringing it to life as it takes root in the listener's head. While at times, English might find himself channeling Northlane too much, or the band might get lost in their own dynamic, that shouldn't stop the listener from enjoying all that Everchanger has to offer—and to witness a true game-changer in the process."
