Halcyon Way "Bloody but Unbowed" Limited Edition 12"
Limited black vinyl.
HALCYON WAY's sound cannot be neatly slotted into any sub-category of metal. It can be described as heavy, catchy, technical, progressive and above all, focused on strong songcraft. FromĀ MegadethĀ toĀ Dream Theater, toĀ TestamentĀ andĀ ChimairaĀ -Ā HALCYON WAYĀ draws influences & inspiration from many metal bands. With a magnitude of catchy hooks, vocal harmonies a laĀ Kingās XĀ orĀ Stryper, and heavy, technical, yet ultimately accessible instrumentation,Ā "Bloody But Unbowed"Ā is sure to please fans of many forms of metal. Be that modern, power, thrash and progressive metal - but also hard rock fans. Crammed full of huge anthemic choruses, shredding solos, and brutal riffs, this release checks off all the boxes.
"Bloody But Unbowed"Ā was recorded, mixed and mastered byĀ Mark LewisĀ (Whitechapel,Ā Trivium,Ā Bad Wolves,Ā Threat Signal) andis replete with artwork fromĀ Travis SmithĀ (Opeth,Ā Overkill,Ā Death,Ā Iced Earth). The album boasts a very special appearance ofĀ "The Nailhead Choir", with many guest names to be revealed soon.
The band commented:Ā "āWe are beyond excited to finally unleash this beast upon everyone. This is by far our heaviest album, but it also has the biggest choruses, and itās just the right next step in our evolution as a band. It was a difficult album to write and put over the finish line, and we cannot wait to have everyone hear it. From the songs to the production to the art, we think all our fans are going to absolutely love it, and when people that havenāt heard Halcyon Way before get a taste, theyāre going to be like āwhere has this band been my whole life?'".
HALCYON WAYĀ is the ultimate example of blue-collar work ethic, self-reliant bootstrapping, and hard work & perseverance in spite of nearly insurmountable odds. This award winning band has released four studio albums worldwide throughĀ Nightmare Records/Sony RED, and most recently viaĀ Massacre Records, and has performed on 4 continents (and about 20 countries and counting), extensively touring with the likes ofĀ Saxon,Ā Sabaton,Ā Queensryche,Ā Fates Warning,Ā Fozzy,Ā Skid Row,Ā U.D.O.Ā andĀ Delain. Most recently,Ā HALCYON WAYĀ finished a month-longĀ European tourĀ withĀ AngraĀ &Ā Geoff TateāsĀ Operation: Mindcrime, and is gearing up to hit the road again in support of their new albumĀ "Bloody But Unbowed".
