If you’re a fan of heavy metal, prepare yourself for a relentless assault on the senses. Finnish metal band BYRON is back with a vengeance, ready to deliver their unique blend of sounds ranging from the iconic New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) to doom metal, and even venturing into the realms of occult rock. With a history deeply rooted in doom and black metal, as well as hard rock and various other metal subgenres, BYRON is a force to be reckoned with.
Formed in 2019, BYRON wasted no time in making their mark on the metal scene. Their full-length album, “The Omega Evangelion,” released in 2021, showcased their musical prowess and ability to create an atmosphere of darkness and intensity. Now, they’re gearing up for the release of their second album, still untitled, which promises to take their sonic exploration to new heights.
In a recent press release, drummer and songwriter Johannes gave fans a taste of what to expect from their upcoming album. The band has released “Resignation” as the second single, and according to Johannes, it’s the angriest song he has ever written for BYRON. The track serves as a powerful middle finger to politicians and priests who spout empty rhetoric while harboring despicable intentions. Johannes describes “Resignation” as the perfect song for a sunny summer evening, and indeed, it carries an infectious energy that’s sure to resonate with metalheads worldwide.
What sets BYRON apart from many other metal bands is their unflinching lyrical stance. Johannes openly criticizes the role of religion in perpetuating discrimination, hate, and aggression throughout human history. He denounces religiously motivated political decisions, which continue to prevail even in civilized societies. With “Resignation,” BYRON encourages listeners to embrace a society free from superstitions and to focus on a better tomorrow built on equality, compassion, reason, justice, and empathy.
BYRON’s music is a rallying cry for those seeking liberation from the chains of oppressive systems. As Denis Diderot once famously said, “Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.” BYRON channels this sentiment into their music, capturing the frustration and discontent that many feel towards the current state of affairs.
To experience the full force of “Resignation,” head over to their official YouTube channel and give it a listen. The track is a testament to the band’s unwavering dedication to their craft and their commitment to delivering powerful, thought-provoking music. Brace yourself for a sonic assault that will leave you hungry for more.
“The Goatmancer Records” is proudly backing BYRON’s sophomore album, ensuring that their vision reaches a wider audience. This partnership promises to be a match made in hell, as both the band and the record label share a passion for pushing boundaries and defying conventions.
As we eagerly await the release of BYRON’s untitled second album, keep an eye on their official Facebook page for updates and announcements. Stay connected with the band’s journey and witness the evolution of their sound as they continue to forge their path in the world of heavy metal.
BYRON’s music is a fierce and unapologetic expression of dissent, fueled by a desire for a better world. With their upcoming album on the horizon, fans of heavy metal are in for a treat. Prepare yourself for a sonic journey that will leave you inspired, empowered, and ready to challenge the status quo.
