In the kaleidoscopic realm of music, a fresh cosmic alignment has emerged, as Majestic Mountain Records, with their oracle-like foresight, have embraced the Swedish prog-sludge wizards, Vokonis.
This band, a swirling vortex of musical alchemy, is gearing up to launch their fifth auditory odyssey into the unknown, with its title still cloaked in mystery, set to unfurl its sonic tapestry in the early days of next year.
The band, tripping on their euphoric synergy with Majestic Mountain Records, are buzzing with anticipation.
“We’re so happy to be part of Majestic Mountain Records.” Says the band. “They share our vision of high-quality music with equally high-quality releases. We can’t wait for what the future holds with them.”
Before this full-length spectacle descends, Vokonis will tantalize the universe with a three-track EP, “Exist Within Light,” dropping into our consciousness on October 27th. This EP is not just a collection of songs, but a portal to progressive realms, building upon the cosmic journey they embarked upon with their 2019 revelation, “Grasping Time.”
Enter Hedvig Modig, the new guitarist, melding her cosmic strings with the existing triad of Simona Ohlsson (guitar/vocals), Sven Lindsten (drums), and Oscar Johannesson (bass). This expanded quartet is not just a band; they are celestial architects, weaving together monumental riffs that could move mountains, percussion that pounds with the heart of the universe, all while intertwining mesmerizing prog textures. Their vocals are a spectrum in themselves, ranging from the gritty howls of a star being born to the soothing chants of interstellar monks. In short, Vokonis is not just playing music; they’re conjuring universes within our ears.
