Embrium Announces Latest Single from Timekeeper, “Hyperion”

Hailing from San Francisco’s dynamic metal scene, Embrium merges the atmospheric beauty of shoegaze with the intensity of black metal, creating a sound that is as hauntingly ethereal as it is visceral. Since their 2021 self-titled debut EP, which gained recognition from Metal Injection and Apple Music’s "Breaking Metal" and "Fresh Blood" playlists, the band has been carving out their place in the blackgaze genre. Their upcoming full-length album, Timekeeper, is the result of three years of creative exploration, drawing on literary themes of time, loss, the dangers of magic, the struggle of life, and the search for self-identity.

Crafted over three years and recorded at Fang Studios in San Mateo, California by Nick Loiacono, Timekeeper showcases the talent behind Embrium: Mosahefu: Guitars, vocals Jade Forsythe: Vocals Joey Menicucci: Guitars, vocals, bass Matt Baird: Drums Newly joined by Ayani Hayashi on bass to help bring Timekeeper to life

Featuring guest appearances by Ian Forsythe (Cyborg Octopus) on "Hyperion" and Kyle Schaefer (Fallujah, Archaeologist) on a cover of "Televators" by The Mars Volta.

ABOUT HYPERION: "Hyperion," Embrium's latest single, is a tribute to the legendary Thomas Börje Forsberg, also known as Quorthon of Bathory. The track also draws inspiration from Dan Simmons' epic science fiction series, the Hyperion Cantos.

HYPERION LYRICS:

This is the right of times divided

This is the shrike of all ignited

No one can hear you now

Within the heart of all that dies

Are you suffering?

For a man who promised you naught

Are you healing?

Within the chamber in which you rot

Choose again, choose again

This is not the end

This is not the end

Every moment is meant for so much more

Every ounce of hatred easy to ignore

When you look into the sun

You will hear Apollo’s song
