Solemn Vision unleash brand new single "Bane And Benumbed"; new album to be released October 20 on Black Lion Records

NYC, US based progressive death metal act Solemn Vision is gearing up for the release of its highly anticipated new album "Despite The Rise Of The Sun", which will be coming out on October 20th via Black Lion Records. While the band's latest single "Gates" already gave an intense insight into the upcoming album, Solemn Vision follows up today with the brand new track "Bane And Benumbed".

Musically, "Bane And Benumbed" is a perfect balance of classic and modern melodic death metal. Filled with fast, gripping riffs punctuated by a pounding rhythm section from drummer Carlos Crowcell and bassist Anthony Rafferty; an anthemic chorus displaying vocalist Aaron Harris's proficiency at not just his iconic screams but also clean singing; and blistering yet melodic solos from guitarists Mauricio Cornejo and Kadin Wisniewski. The lyrics are a take on sleep paralysis, and its effects. Parts of the lyrics were also used as the title for the new album.

"Despite The Rise Of The Sun" is Solemn Vision's sophomore full-length release and is tangible proof of hard work coming to fruition. This album features songs that the band not only always wanted to write and record, but also hear, as listeners and fans of music themselves. Before the lockdown, the band was already working on songs that would become the bulk of the album; during lockdown they kept working on something that had become long-awaited by fans, fueled by the frustrations and difficulties brought on by the pandemic; post-lockdown, coming off a successful 3-week tour in the northeast, and an exciting new partnership with Black Lion Records, Solemn Vision is finally ready to bring their vision to life. "Despite The Rise Of The Sun" features songs ranging from extremely fast and punishing, to soft but dark, while still finding a sense of balance throughout the whole album. While there isn't necessarily a theme that binds every track together, there is certainly a message within this album: that finding a sense of balance is vital when you are faced with any challenges
