News : Details of Elysian’s upcoming debut album

By on February 23, 2012

Melbourne’s Elysian have set March 26th as the release date for their eleven track debut release Wires of Creation. To give you a little taste the opening track “Mans Design” is at the bottom of the post. Keep your eyes out for a new video clip from the guys, and don’t forget you can catch them live supporting Arch Enemy in Melbourne on March 31st, and on the Metal Obsession stage at the monstrous Chaos A.C.T. festival on March 3rd.

Guitarist Gabe Hutchinson comments:

“Our main goal was to create a dynamic experience from start to finish whilst maintaining heavy songs. Overall it’s a really heavy melodic death album but at times soars into things like an instrumental Pink Floyd-esque song with an electronic feel or a intricate percussive section. As a band, we grew up listening to music that incorporated acoustic ballads with blazing shred songs all in the one album, and it wasn’t called progressive; it was called a good album. Some bands aim to have their songs sound disjointed by dramatically switching between genres; that’s not what we have done, the whole album flows, it attacks and it releases, its aggressive but gives you time to breath and take it in.”
