Introducing “Callas” a new post rock/metal and experimental band from Cork. Their explosive second single, “Days” is set for release on April 25th, 2024.
Slabs of shimmering guitars give way to otherworldly vistas drenched with defiant vocals. “Days” is an intense and alluring listen from start to finish that sets the bar for the bands progressive and experimental sound and will form the title track for their much anticipated EP due in the first half of 2024.
Featuring Dom Murphy (vocals, guitars), Cormac Shanley (Bass) of postrock band “Ealadha” and electronic producer Ruairi Lynch (aka Bantum) on guitar and production duties. The band draws inspiration from the raw energy of metal and ethereal textures of shoegaze to create their dreamlike and experimental sounds.
Speaking about their upcoming release, Dom commented, “Days is a panoramic snapshot of where the band is right now and easily deserves to act as the backbone for our upcoming EP. It’s a sprawling and explosive song that blends a potent mix of drama and melancholy wrapped up under a dreamy soundscape. It has a radiance and energy to it that we are really happy to have captured during the recording process. Play it loud!”
Ruairi comments “It’s been an exciting new challenge for me from a production perspective and I feel with Dom’s songwriting and Cormacs bass sound we’re creating something that pushes things while feeling authentic to our roots.“
