The USA based mystic prog/gothic metal duo Oryad have released a brand new video single "Eve". The single is taken from the upcoming full-length entitled Sacred & Profane, which will be released on the 25th of May via SAOL/Toxoplasma Records.
Oryad comments: "This song is a monologue wherein Eve speaks back to her original tempter, to stand up for her own personhood rather than take the blame for all of humanity's weaknesses. The poetry was inspired by Edna St. Vincent Millay's Sonnet II in Epitaph for the Race of Man. We loved adding heavy doom and black metal touches to this song to give an edge to one of myth's mothers of mankind."
Each song - "Eve" included - on Oryad's upcoming album Sacred & Profane speaks for the deep connection with nature and its spirits. The music holds the ability to carry its listeners through a colourful pallet of emotions, a journey which the band describes as follows: "In our society, we have anesthetized so much of the human experience and partitioned off parts of ourselves, claiming that anger, for example, can only be ugly. That grief should be hidden. That it is socially acceptable to only revel in their brighter siblings love, joy, and hope...which only makes those three more cloying and homogenized."
"Eve" has been recorded by Moira Murphy, Matt Gotlin-Sheehan and Luca Grieman at The Band Cave Studios in Denver, as well as at Toxoplasma Records in East Tennessee. Once again Vikram Shankar did a fantastic job on mixing and mastering this epic mystic song, combining elements from earlier classical romantic and baroque periods with a modern black metal dark prog touch. Fans are definitely gonna enjoy this artful mystic piece of ear candy. "Eve" is out now on all platforms; the music video is available right here. Link
