Two years ago, Hercyn self-released the twenty-four minute epic "Magda". Covering black metal passages with waves of melodic guitars, thunderous drums and cacophonous synths, "Magda" saw mature song writing and composition, warm and natural production and a penchant for grandeur.
Hercyn now emerge with their newest vision entitled "Dust and Ages". Four tracks of progressive black metal that move beyond the established blueprint set by "Magda". The Hercynian stylings remain progressive and ambient, but the boundaries imposed by style or namesake have been pushed further. "Dust and Ages" is an offering categorized by powerful composition and incendiary taste for metal. Tracked during the midsummer of MMXV, engineer Tony Stanziano (also Hercyn's bassist) captured and cast into stone Hercyn's energies like never before. The intricate layers, relentless blast beats, harrowing vocals and striking tremolo are captivating as the spacious melodies shape, set and shift the mood.
Track list:
1. Dust
2. Of Ruin
3. Storm Before the Flood
I. Shining
II. Echoes
III. Waves
IV. Wash Away
V. Onward and Outward
4. Ages
"Dust and Ages" will be released officially on September 11th, MMXV on compact disc, cassette, and digital format. It is available for preorder now on the band's official Bandcamp page. To bring this mammoth of a release into the light, Hercyn will be playing alongside Romania's Negura Bunget on September 4th in Brooklyn, NY, where pre-sale physical copies of "Dust and Ages" will be available before the release date.
The silence will end.
