Australian prog metal band Black Sea of Trees just shared the first track from their forthcoming album, Cult of the Sun. Check out “A Red Dawn” below.
The band say about the song:
“The lyrics illustrate the protagonist’s stagnant situation before being confronted by the sun god’s providence. The protagonist makes a covenant with the sun god, offering themselves in return for power to destroy their enemies and the creation of a new kingdom. The song ends with the protagonist destroying the temples of the old gods and the slaughter of those that upheld that religion.”
Leaning into what their press release describes as “dark atmospheric tones, strong full voiced melodies, falsetto and deep growls,” Black Sea of Trees keep it experimental and varied on this new song, foretelling that this album will be a weird one.
