Runemagick comment on the track: “‘Old Bones’ is the first glimpse into Cycle of the Dying Sun (Dawn of Ashen Realms), a song that treads the path of the nameless, where echoes of the past linger beneath layers of ash and time. As the second track of the album, it carves deep into the essence of what lies ahead: a journey through fading embers and veiled realms. No steps return, no echoes call / Through shadowed mist, through endless fall. The cycle has begun, and the bones still speak.“
FFO: Celtic Frost, Candlemass, Evoken, Hooded Menace
Genre: doom/death metal
Cycle of the Dying Sun (Dawn of Ashen Realms) marks a new era for the Runemagick entity. Entirely composed and performed by Nicklas Rudolfsson, vocals, guitars, bass, synthesizers, and drums, the album channels the stripped down, immersive, and slow-burning spirit of early Runemagick while also introducing new sonic shades and meditative depth. A few carefully chosen guests were invited to contribute additional dimensions, further expanding the album’s ceremonial atmosphere.
Six core compositions form the foundation across all formats. The CD and digital editions go even deeper, offering four extended tracks that enrich the journey with further layers of decay, resonance, and otherworldly drift.
This album represents both a new era and a new chapter, while also serving as a natural continuation of the path carved on Beyond the Cenotaph of Mankind (2023), a descent beyond that threshold, into deeper domains of life, death, and the unknown beyond.
