Canada’s Sons Of Arrakis explores undiscovered desert worlds in the new single release, “Rider of the Coriolis Storm.” Using the Cinematic universe of Frank Herbert’s ‘Dune‘ as a creative foundation, the band’s melange Rock/Cinematic Sci-Fi Rock sound crafts an immersive atmosphere for their narrative driven tracks. The forthcoming full length “Volume III” is set to landon January 22, 2027, via Black Throne Productions.
Commenting on “Rider of the Coriolis Storm,” the band explains: “The song introduces an original character within our Dune-inspired mythology: a Fremen who has mastered the art of riding Shai-Hulud through the violent Coriolis storms of Arrakis. Unlike some of the record’s more political or introspective material, this one doesn’t need a deeper hidden meaning—we wanted to have fun inside the universe and create our own desert legend”
“Rider of the Coriolis Storm” brings an adventurous and playful mood. Musically, a galloping central riff is surrounded by fast-pace guitars and an extended instrumental section. A continuous sense of movement and momentum prevails through the arrangement as the rider embraces the power of the sand storm and begins to harness it.

— About Sons Of Arrakis —
Formed in Montreal in June 2019, Sons of Arrakis take their name and creative inspiration from Frank Herbert’s Dune novels. The band describes its sound as melange Rock and cinematographic Sci-Fi Rock, drawing from Heavy Rock, Desert Rock, and Stoner Rock.
Their debut album, “Volume I,” was released in July 2022 and reached #1 on the Doom Charts in July of that year, later placing at #8 in the year-end rankings. Its follow-up, “Volume II,” arrived in June 2024, reaching #3 on the Doom Charts in July and securing another Top 10 year-end placement.
The band has since expanded its touring activity across North America and Europe. Highlights include their first US tour and an appearance at Planet Desert Rock Weekend IV in 2025, followed by a UK debut at Stoom Fest and European festival appearances at Into The Void and Up In Smoke. In 2026, the band returned to Europe for performances at Krach am Bach, Rock im Wald, Free & Easy, and Sauzipf Rocks, alongside a Western Canadian tour with Voivod and an appearance at Infest Edmonton.
“Volume III” marks the band’s next full-length release and continues the series through Black Throne Productions.
