Majestic Mountain Records is proud to announce the official release of “Transitions” the new release by Swedish Progressive Doomsters Vokonis.
“Transitions” is a triumphant and deeply multifaceted expression of resilience, determination, unflinching bravery and becoming and the highly anticipated new release from Sweden’s ever evolving Vokonis is nothing short of stunning in it’s conception, performance and delivery. This album demands space, time and attention and submitting to its power is a true and rewarding joy unlocked on the spectrum of modern, Heavy Rock.
In this latest addition to the Vokonis lore, the band unfurls six, huge tracks of Progressive, technically articulated heavy metal with tinges of Post-Rocking glory and Sludgy crush, blended vocals on the spectrum of Blackened harshness to melodic, Grungy crooning. Expect to be enthralled by absolute walls of gorgeously sanguine yet viciously viscous tone erupting from the vast spectrum of Simona’s masterful riffing, alongside bounding swing, neck snapping dirge and churning chug from the beguiling din of Oscar Johannesson’s rumbling bass and the blinding, percussive pertinacity of drummer Sven Lindstrom. In all of its supreme heaviness, “Transitions” gives us over 44 minutes of pure, exhilarating, heaving emotion and the band shows no signs of slowing their experimentally visceral, evolutionary train whilst they continue to build evocatively upon their progressively expansive trajectory.
“Transitions” is a vehemently vulnerable and incandescently volatile elegy to the past, yet it fiercely holds space in the present for the beauty of truth, the push of forging one’s own life’s path and regardless of the hardship, retaining a hope for the future.
“Transitions” officially hits the streets on October 25th and MMR is honoured to bring this seminal album from one of Sweden’s most spectacular bands.
