Denver doom/sludge metallers Oryx have announced their fourth studio album Primordial Sky, which will be digitally released on October 18 through Translation Loss Records. The band have also released a new single from the upcoming album.
Listen to the new single “Myopic” here.
Vocalist and guitarist Thomas Davis shares his thoughts:
“Lyrically, ‘Myopic’ is a requiem portraying a state of conflict with the human condition amidst a deep-seated psychosis that demands immediate gratification, simultaneously speeding towards an extinction event of our own creation. Writing this song involved a multi-faceted approach, incorporating bass and guitar harmonies, an acoustic interlude, and pummeling drums. This song is one of Primordial Sky’s most aggressive and energetic tracks, while still featuring the intricate layering embodied throughout the rest of the album. ‘Primordial Sky’ is ORYX’s pinnacle offering to date, showcasing each member’s best work and a surgical collective approach to exploring deeply expressive songwriting. Writing and recording these songs has been an immensely cathartic journey, one that we are eager to share with the world.”
