Schiermann releases new music video for ‘Stygian Path’

SCHIERMANN has released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Stygian Path, is the brand new single from the progressive instrumentalist and marks his first new music since 2017’s self-titled debut record. The new music video was first premiered via Gear Gods.

The self-released 10-minute track features two-time Grammy Award-winning THE MARS VOLTA saxophonist Adrian Gonzalez, and Polish guitar virtuoso Jakub Zytecki sharing dual lead guitar parts on the latter end of the track.

Speaking about the new single, SCHIERMANN says, “Stygian Path is one of my favorites. It has so many elements and moods but still holds that dark vibe throughout, hence the name. It was one of those songs that just kept writing itself; go prog!! It takes you on a journey with its many riffs and time signatures, especially as Navene Koperweis‘ drums alone are quite amazing because the time signatures are all over the place and it’s mega challenging. Mike Malyan from DIESPERSE who’s now back in MONUMENTS did all the sound effects, ambience, and keyboards to top off the overall feel and expression of the song.”

Continuing to talk about his future plans, he adds, “the direction on my new material is a bit more diverse so it will cover a broader range of styles but the overall feel is still prog/metal for sure with some different flavors sprinkled here and there. The first song I am recording is close to being finished and I will release it as a single as soon as it’s mixed and mastered. I hope to have the album done by late summer if things go according to plan. Currently I am working on a new album and documenting it all with a Studio Update series on my Instagram and YouTube channels to share with all of you so please check it out to stay up to date.”
