Eschalon release new music video for ‘Helios’

ESCHALON have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Helios, is the debut single from the UK tech-metalcore band and features a guest appearance from Neema Askari of FELL SILENT.

Speaking about the debut single, the band says, “burning compassion in the face of shadows. Helios is a fervent testament to the unyielding spirit that reaches out to uplift those grappling with turmoil. The lyrics weave an intricate tapestry of heartfelt altruism, resonating with anyone who’s ever extended a hand to someone in need. It’s a symphony of devotion, capturing the fiery passion of aiding others while acknowledging the toll it can take. Journeys through cosmic allegories mirror the emotional voyage, as the track kindles a guiding light through the darkest of times.”

The first single Helios is also a tribute to one of the pillars of the tech metal community. The band continues, “on November 1st, 2022 we lost our dear friend Karl Riley of CARCER CITY. Karl had been a supporter of ESCHALON for many years, and had introduced us to our vocalist Brad. Brad was Karl’s best friend, and cared for him until the very end. Karl had become obsessed with number synchronicities and had been telling his friends, family and nurses that the numbers ‘11122’ were important to his life, but that he did not know what they meant. Having predicted the date of his own passing, we felt this was an important date and marked it as a date we should honour as a band. We decided that 1/11/23, a year on from Karl’s passing, we would release Helios in loving memory of Karl Riley, to honour him, and our relationship as a band which he hand a significant hand in forging. Karl Riley Forever.”
