Dark Power Metal Act HYLOXALUS Drop New Single "Undead In Ward 6"





Dark Power Metal Act HYLOXALUS Release New Single "Undead In Ward 6"


Dark power metal three piece HYLOXALUS are preparing to unveil their haunting and heavy debut album on January 26th, 2024. Combining ethereal soprano lead vocals with thundering instrumentation and shadowy atmospheres, this is power metal with a difference. 

Today, the band has shared the first taste of the album with new single and lyric video "Undead in Ward 6." You can find it here: https://youtu.be/pkcBk7ll-AA

HYLOXALUS' alluring sound will draw you into the album's opener "He Dies In The Swamp". Unceasing percussion drives the track with inhuman speed, while distorted guitars bring grounding rhythms for ghostly harmonies to soar above. Drift off into the taunting nightmares of "Dream Chasm", but beware the sleep paralysis demons. Instrumental layers in "Undead in Ward 6" make for theatrical offering, aptly portraying a vampiric tale of escaping terminal illness in exchange for eternal life. The final tracks, "Severed From The Reborn Sun" and "Splitter" end the album with a dramatic tale as the protagonist attempts to destroy God. HYLOXALUS' dissonant progressions and fast-rhythms manifest unease and suspense as the epic battle takes place. 
About HYLOXALUS:
Based out of Edmonton, Canada, 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.

HYLOXALUS is:
Nina Laderoute - vocals
Mike Bell - guitar/bass/synth programming/lead songwriter
Danial Devost - drums

This track features Katri Hiovain-Asikainen from the Numento .  LISTEN Black Within on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/bth-black   "Black Within is one of the last songs written for the album. The process of writing it was quite easy, I wrote it in one day. Sometimes it's easy to write a song when you have a clear vision and you don't have to spend weeks or months on it. The song is one of the most atmospheric on the album, even a bit "ballad-like". Already during the composition phase I knew that I had to have a female vocalist for this song and I had a clear candidate right away; Katri Hiovain-Asikainen from the Numento band. Luckily, Katri agreed immediately,...
