Wheel release new song ‘Hyperion’

WHEEL have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Hyperion, is taken from the Finnish progressive metal band’s upcoming new album, Resident Human, which is scheduled to be released in March this year.

“This song was inspired by Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons and considers humanity’s relationship to mortality and ultimately, death,” explains vocalist/guitarist James Lascelles of the new song. “Considering that all of us are travelling along the same linear experience of time from a point of nothingness, to (in all likelihood) another point of nothingness, this song considers that this knowledge should make us more empathetic to others on the same journey and that however divided we may be otherwise, there is no division or variance for how lives end.”

Resident Human is set for release on March 26th via Odyssey Music. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here
