Watch lyrics video off of upcoming City Of Tyrants concept album

New Jersey’s City Of Tyrants has released a lyric video for “Astral Projection”. This is the first single off of the metal band’s “Revelations”, a concept album to be released November 16th.

Revelations

The album was co-written with Lukas Magyar (Veil Of Maya) and makes a change from previous releases by adding their drummer’s clean vocals. The concept album addresses the conflict and confusion of pursuing one’s personal ideology by telling the story of a god-like figure chosen to fulfill a prophecy to bring peace to a post apocalyptic world. The album is told from a first person perspective and the character ultimately ends up in battle with himself, fighting his urges to become the exact opposite of what he set out to be. He is faced with several challenges that will eventually break him down causing him to become the evil which he sought to eradicate in the beginning of the story.

City of Tyrants was formed in 2015 by Kevin Michael (drums), Ed Tyler (guitar), Chingkhei Akoijam (guitar) & Sean Mcgurr (vocals). After the release of the 2016 EP Erebus, the band saw the introduction of new vocalist Charles Horning and bassist Josh Palmer. Underneath all of the crushing drums, polyrhythmic guitars and soaring vocals, Revelations delivers a strong concept which is both interesting and telling of today’s society.
