Red Cain - "Precipice of Man" (Visualizer)
Didn’t know what you’re saying
Don’t know even that you’re gone
We turn our faces from the Sun
So take my hand
And step out with me now
The precipice of Man
Close your eyes
You’ve come too far
To see our withered spirits
Turn to night
And from the deep
A sound rises up
A call, a call
A call that must be answered
Or defied
And you can rise
Up out of your sleep
Or fall apart
For there is life in the ashes
For there’s smoke over the shore
And your weary hands hold the fate
Of more than you can know
We are falling forever
Tied to the end
Take my hand and step out onto
The precipice of Man
Sic itur ad astra
De nocte in feris
Sic itur ad lucem
Et unum solum
Sic itur ad astra
De nocte inferis
Sic itur ad lucem
Non omnis moriar
Sic itur daemoniam
Alea jacta est
Sic itur ad finem
Et unum solum
Sic itur ad mortem
Alea jacta est
Sic itur ad gloriam
O sole!
Tearing through the forest of the lantern light
Coldest fire my guide
Moving through the archways
Of the heathen gods
Pull the moon out of the night
Cradling in my hands the spirits of the past
Confessing their dreams
All of their songs weren’t meant for us
But we are all that’s here
For there is life in the ashes
For there’s smoke over the shore
And your weary hands hold the fate
Of more than you can know
We are falling forever
Tied to the end
Take my hand and step out onto
The precipice of Man
For there is life in the ashes
For there’s smoke over the shore
And your weary hands hold the fate
Of more than you can know
We are falling forever
Tied to the end
Take my hand and step out onto
The precipice of Man
Οι Red Cain μας έρχονται από τον Καναδά. Δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από εννέα χρόνια κι αναφέρουν ως επιρροές συγκροτήματα όπως οι: Kamelot, Symphony X, Conception, Tesseract, Sybreed, Blind Guardian, Aria, Opeth, Rush κλπ. Τo φθινόπωρο του 2016 κυκλοφόρησαν το ομώνυμο ep και πρόπερσι το ντεμπούτο τους "Kindred: Act I" (αυτοχρηματοδοτούμενο σε ψηφιακή μορφή - σε cd κυκλοφόρησε τον Γενάρη toy 2020 μέσω της Sliptrick Records). Προ μηνός κυκλοφόρησε το δεύτερο μέρος υπό τον τίτλο "Kindred: Act II"...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Canada’s progressive power gothic metal band Red Cain unleashed their new album “Kindred: Act II” digitally this past January with the CD physical release due out via Sliptrick Records later date this year. Today, the band presents their latest visualizer for their track "Precipice of Man".
Vocalist Evgeniy Zayarny adds: "A ballad, but also...not? Certainly the most experimental track on this album, "Precipice of Man" was born out of focusing entirely on capturing the story and atmosphere related to the track from note one, and creating a musical landscape supporting those elements. Utilizing falsetto vocals and electronic touches not found in other tracks, “Precipice of Man” still keeps the weight and urgency of the album, but provides a necessary introspective and cautiously uplifting element.
Within the “Kindred” concept, this is a track that “takes stock” of the world of the album at the time, featuring three parts from the POV of three characters: the opening stanzas from Zalcoatl’s companion Juliet urging him to push on (“take my hand and step out onto the precipice of Man”), the Nameless Exarch’s ominous Latin chants in the middle of the track as he commands his hordes, and Zalcoatl’s meditation on the role of humanity (“all their songs, they weren’t meant for us...but we are all that’s here”). The track hits a crescendo with an uplifting, determined chorus from all our protagonists together - “There is life in the ashes, there is smoke upon the shore - and your weary hands hold the fate of more than you can know” - showing that there is still hope on the journey to the Sun."
Described as a vehicle of “Melancholy and Rage” and born out of the emerging music scene of Calgary, AB, 2017 YYC Awards Metal Recording of the Year winner Red Cain is a power/progressive metal project with Russian roots. With intricate songwriting, a heavy yet melodic feel reminiscent of progressive acts, and elements of Slavic myth and Russian paganism in the storytelling tradition of the cult of Veles, Red Cain champion a fluid, dynamic, and unique musical style centered around telling dark, conceptual Faustian sagas and constructing those into an unforgettable live experience.
Their new sophomore full-length continues and ends the band's storytelling of their Kindred saga, which began with their 2019's "Kindred: Act: 1". Offering a mix of melodies and metallic styles in power, progressive and goth metal, Red Cain continues to deliver epic adventurous songs with tracks like Sunshine (Blood Sun Empire)”, “Demons”, “Kindred” and “Varyag and The Shrike”.
Vocalist Evgeniy Zayarny comments: "Step forward in the ranks of the Varyag Mstislav, hear the chilling call of the Nameless Exarch, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Aztec warrior Zalcoatl in the depths of an ancient Ziggurat. Experimental, aggressive, yet melodic and recognizably Red Cain, the second act in the “Kindred” saga sets the bar even higher in the hybrid prog/power style we have made our own. Inspired by the age-old Slavic rites honouring the Sun and continuing the storytelling tradition of Veles, this album is an amalgam of myths, genres, and emotions - and we could not be more proud to be able to share it with you. All stories must come to an end - but this is one where the action and intensity is at its peak. This is a story where the stakes are lethal, where the music is loud and the melodies cut deep - where the frozen North wind chills the land and an eldritch specter hangs over the horizon. Above all, this is a story of humanity reaching out toward the Sun, come what may. This is our story of “Kindred” - and we are absolutely fired up to bring you with us on this mad ride."»
Bio: «Described as a vehicle of "Melancholy and Rage" and born out of the emerging music scene of Alberta, Canada, 2017 YYC Awards Metal Recording of the Year winner Red Cain is a power / progressive metal project with Russian roots.
With intricate songwriting, a heavy yet melodic feel reminiscent of progressive acts, and elements of Russian myth and Slavic paganism, Red Cain champion a fluid, dynamic, and unique musical style centered around telling dark, conceptual Faustian sagas and constructing those into an unforgettable live experience.
Stated by frontman Evgeniy Zayarny as wanting to bring back the "Devil's music" mysticism all too often missing in modern metal acts, Red Cain delivers flair, groove, and an intricate, lethal edge in their music. Listeners might well pick out elements reminiscent of such luminary acts as Kamelot, Symphony X, Tesseract, Amaranthe, Alter Bridge - whipped into a venomous new shape. The current incarnation of the band is all of these influences mixed with a lot of vodka and Eastern European melancholy, shaken and stirred.
Red Cain released its debut self-titled EP in November 2016 to rave reviews from a variety of publications such as Dead Rhetoric, MetalUnderground, and Firewind magazine, among many others. Red Cain's EP had the honour of winning Metal Recording of the Year at the 2017 YYC Music Awards. The band has a strong emerging fanbase around the world, being named one of the top 200 bands of 2016 by Headbangers Latinoamerica and the EP's cover art selected as one of 2016's 15 best by Metal Underground.
Red Cain's first full-length album "Kindred: Act I" was released March 2019 to a variety of excellent reviews internationally, reaching #1 on Canadian Earshot Loud charts and establishing the band as a force in the Canadian metal scene.
A variety of festival appearances at Loud As Hell Metal Festival, Hyperspace Metal Festival, and Canada Wacken Competition have served to cement that status. Red Cain's music video for "ZERO" has to date garnered 3 international film festival awards, including the Music Video Award at the Accolade Global Film Competition (LA). The band aims to deliver its follow-up to "Kindred: Act I" in 2020.»
