Canadian dark power metal trio Hyloxalus is preparing to unveil their haunting and heavy debut album entitled Make Me The Heart Of The Black Hole on the 26th of January 2024. Combining ethereal soprano lead vocals with thundering instrumentation and shadowy atmospheres, this is power metal with a difference.
Based out of Edmonton, Hyloxalus initially grew from a handful of demos with intentions to explore a melodeath sound. Instead, soprano lead vocals were added and an array of styles bled into the mix. Having been operating as a studio project, 2021 saw Hyloxalus take to the stage supporting Ravenous and the trio subsequently performed at Armstrong Metalfest (2022) and Hyperspace Metalfest (2023). The band's first two EPs, released in 2019 and 2021, were musically placed in the realms of 2000s euro power metal but with a moodier edge. Make Me The Heart Of The Black Hole sees the trio develop their sound into Fear Factory/Strapping Young Lad riffs meets Tristania, with drumming heavily inspired by Rush.
