Mystic prog metal from Tennessee and Colorado: ORYAD are putting the opera, jazz and metal drill to work with their upcoming album Sacred & Profane. (coming May 25, 2023)
February 2023 is the month to welcome phenomenal new stars on the female fronted metal horizon: ORYAD. Scorched Earth presents the band’s first video single that is out now to conquer the world of mystic metal, yet combined with prog and doom elements. Presented with an eye-capturing artful video completing the full package, it touts the upcoming new album Sacred & Profane (coming May 25, 2023).
“While Scorched Earth tactics in war are brutal and dehumanizing, it was the only term that best encapsulated the feeling you get when you decide to radically change your life,” the band dives into the song’s meaning. “As new tree growth comes from the ashes of forest fires, new opportunities can arise out of truly starting over. This song is a celebration of that and probably our most ‘straight-ahead’ tune that resembles traditional symphonic metal.”
