Progressive modern metal force KORYPHEUS have released the official music video for “Sleeper,” the latest emphasis track from the group’s new album, and M-Theory Audio debut, ‘Gilgamesh.’ The song features a powerful guest performance from Laura Guldemond, vocalist of Burning Witches, adding an electrifying new dimension to the band’s cinematic sound.
WATCH NOW:
“’Sleeper’ is based on the myth about the king sleeping under the hill. It could be Charlemagne, Arthur, Friedrich Barbarossa. The hero awakens and speaks to a random passerby, asking him, ‘Are the eagles (or crows) still circling above the mountaintop?’ The passerby (or mysterious voice) answers in the affirmative, and the hero then drives him away – ‘Go away! My time has not yet come.’
Korypheus uses this folkloric plot as a starting point for reflection on the illusory nature, fragility of life and the mysteries of sleep. Sensual yet powerful voice of Laura Guldemond adds extra dimension to the story and imaginary dialog.”
KORYPHEUS blend intricate riffs with epic melodies on ‘Gilgamesh,’ a concept album that tells tales of times bygone and present. Mixed by Jinjer’s Dmitry Kim (who also plays drums on the album) and mastered by Jay Ruston (Amon Amarth, Anthrax, Stone Sour), ‘Gilgamesh’ sounds massive and current. The album, released Sept. 26th, features additional contributions throughout from members of Orphaned Land, Soen and Burning Witches.
Already garnering praise from established and diverse artists like Haken, Deep Purple, Enterprise Earth and Caligula’s Horse who have all shared personal endorsements continuing to solidify KORYPHEUS as one of Eastern Europe’s most visionary heavy music acts.
