Influences such as Coheed & Cambria and The Contortionist are rife on the Staten Island outfit’s upcoming EP ‘Necropolis’. Coming March 19th, Cyderian Son's first new material since their 2016 debut album '[R.E:]M.ILY' sees the quintet continue to evolve a sound that skilfully navigates the contours of progressive metal and alternative rock, with precision and power, intertwining with plentiful hooks along the way.
Integrated into Cyderian Son’s lexicon is a broad cultural influence, with sound and art incorporated from the global stage; South Indian vocal percussion technique “Konnakol” can be heard on the new single.
This is the second track from our upcoming 5 track EP "Necropolis", and we wanted to explore a few different moods and textures within it, most notably the heavy break in the middle which draws its influence from Konnakol rhythms. The song is named after an ancient city in Pakistan, which ties into the themes discussed in the lyrics. The artwork pictured in the single stream video is actually our car burning up with all of our gear inside it while we were on our way to record the EP, (luckily we were able to save some of our gear and replace the rest and we went back 2 weeks later to finish recording), and we just thought it was a hilarious take on "DAMN." by Kendrick Lamar.
