Wilderun announce new album ‘Epigone’
WILDERUN have announced a new album!
Titled Epigone, the upcoming album from the Boston-based progressive metal band is the follow-up to 2019’s Veil Of Imagination, and is scheduled to be released in January next year, via Century Media Records.
“We are very proud to present our fourth studio album Epigone as our first true release on Century Media,” says the band about the upcoming album. “This has been an album in the making for many years, so it’s a relief and a pleasure to finally get it out there. We’ve learned a lot over the past three records, and applying that knowledge to these particular songs has been a very rewarding challenge.”
“This is certainly a ‘meta’ record for me,” states guitarist and vocalist Evan Berry. Bassist/composer Dan Muller notes, “this record has a different kind of inner turmoil than Veil Of Imagination. So much of that album was focused on the past and reminiscing on the progression from childhood to adulthood, and had a brighter, more flowery texture to it. This one is darker, and to me feels more introspective.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; Epigone. Speaking about the new song, the band adds, “Passenger is simultaneously the most immediate and the densest song on the record. I think it hooks you in pretty quickly, but takes a good amount of replays to catch all the details. This is also one of those tracks we were excited to play live as soon as we tracked it in the studio, given the heaviness of both the band and orchestra, so I can easily imagine this becoming a staple of our setlist, but only time will tell.”
