Perth’s post-black metal quintet Illyria <\/strong>are back with a new line up and a brand new single “Frostbite<\/strong>“. The new single marks a new direction for the band since last year’s sophomore album release ‘The Carpathian Summit<\/strong>‘, and to celebrate, Illyria will launch the single live at Perth’s Amplifier Bar<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Illyria became known for their progressive post black metal sound that held no boundaries on their 2019 album \u2018The Carpathian Summit’. “Frostbite” shows the development of the band and introduces a more technical yet catchy prog-rock, metal blend featuring the signature clean, blackened vocals mixed with progressive instrumentals. “Frostbite” is a versatile composition that flows through the veins of prog-rock and death metal with new members Stephen Barrett<\/strong> and Andr\u00e9 Avila<\/strong> on guitars pushing the band to new technical horizons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engineered, mixed and mastered by Illyria bassist and producer Daniel Hacking<\/strong>, “Frostbite” is a mesmerising composition with smooth dynamic shifts and is a song about moving forward from a messy break-up as best as possible. Vocalist Ilija Staji\u0107<\/strong> explains “the track explores the idea of eliminating all emotion and connecting to stoic philosophy to find bliss through independence<\/em>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music video premiered at Maniacs<\/a> on Wednesday, demonstrating the bands DIY ethic in the form of a self-made, striking visual asset to compliment the cool undertones of “Frostbite”. Watch the video below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
