Portland, OR’s TANAGRA has posted a new lyric video for their track ‘Etheric Alchemy’ in support of their latest album “Meridiem” released this past April. The video is being premiered onHeavyBlogIsHeavy.com at the following link: http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com/2019/05/23/premiere-hear-tanagra-perform-etheric-alchemy/
The band adds:
“Etheric Alchemy is a perfect blend of our newer proggy symphonic sound and the rockin’ heavy power metal of None of this is Real. Like an overture of our entire career, all our stylistic tendencies are represented in this song; Crazy time switches, lush orchestrations, and harmonized vocals co-exist with driving headbanging riffs, shredding guitar solos, and aggressive singing. It also has some of the nerdiest lyrical content we’ve ever written.”Refining and crafting the seven multi-layered compositions on their latest full length “Meridiem” to perfection, TANAGRA have created a power metal album packed with depth, emotion, harmony, and complexity all recorded across four studios for close to three years with guest musicians on piano, cello, and viola,
The band explains the album:
“‘Meridiem’ was us taking primary influence from classic prog rock and orchestral black metal alongside our classic power metal sound, with symphonic arrangements, multi-layered choral vocals, and moody mellotrons combining to make an atmosphere that sounds like nothing else. The diverse set of songs have a little something for everyone, from furious blast beats to smooth jazz piano solos and everything in between. Our main ambitions when writing were to make everything proggy and epic, and we pushed the songs as hard as we could on that. It’s a special album for all of us, with the meaning behind every riff and lyric. We’re excited to finally unleash it upon the world, and we hope people enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed writing it.”
“Meridiem” is available on Spotify, CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp.
