Japanese Esprit D'Air has unleashed the fifth single/video, "Chronos", from its forthcoming fourth full-length, Aeons, set for release on 7 November.
Speaking about the album's concept, Kai says: "Aeons is about time - how it can trap us, test us, and push us to the edge. These songs were written in a world that feels increasingly uncertain, where conflict, division, and crisis shape our lives. But within that darkness, there's still resilience, hope, and the possibility to begin again. The songs travel through themes of despair and struggle, but also resilience and hope - a reminder that even in dark times, there's a way forward".
While past albums included collaborations with guest artists such as Ben Christo (The Sisters Of Mercy), Ryo Kinoshita (ex-Crystal Lake, Knosis), Tim "Ripper" Owens (ex-Judas Priest, KK's Priest), and Heavygrinder, Aeons represents a new chapter written and solely produced by the band.
Esprit D'Air is led by guitarist and producer Kai, also a current member of The Sisters Of Mercy, with Vincent Velazco (ex-Ghost, Pendragon) on drums, Takeshi (ex-MergingMoon) on bass, and Yusuke on guitar.
Esprit D'Air will also embark on a grassroots UK and Ireland tour in November in support of the Aeons album. Opting for more intimate venues, the band want to bring the new record to fans up close, capturing the raw energy of smaller shows. The tour will also include a rescheduled performance in Barcelona. The tour dates, alongside the previously revealed video single, "Silver Leaf", are HERE. Link
