New Album Coming This Fall via Indie Recordings
Norway’s Halcyon Days are back, in-your-face, bringing forth an incredibly fresh metalcore sound! Their brand new single “Awakening” is out now
With aggressive metalcore riffs, punchy breakdowns and an overall melodic hardcore vibe, Halcyon Days remind of the very best days that bands like Architects and While She Sleeps had in their early years, while delivering a stellar production. “Awakening” is a track of pure joy and will fascinate you with its spectacular melodies, modern synthesizer sounds and a great vocals performance! As the band states: “Awakening is a high pace energetic metalcore track about being a «functioning substance abuser» – after turning to self-medicating through rough times. We finally bring back our heavier side and aggressiveness since our 2018 album “Rain Soaked Pavements & Fresh Cut Grass”. With “Awakening”, we pave the way for our new sound and of what’s to come.”
“Awakening” is the first single off the upcoming album, which will be released this Fall via Indie Recordings!
