Vokonis release “Azure” today (March 26, 2021). The third and final single leading up to the Swedish prog-metal trio’s fourth studio album Odyssey.
After the success of the band’s latest, critically acclaimed third album Grasping Time (2019), Vokonis immediately went into recording more material. With the goal set to further expand the prog landscape, Vokonis crafted recordings that are more dynamically diverse and forward-thinking than ever before. The result is Odyssey – Vokonis’ fourth studio album. Ranging from full-blown doom to melodically blissful ages, the new album features guest musician Per Wiberg (Opeth, Spiritual Beggars, Kamchatka) on Keyboard.
Guitarist/vocalist Simon comments on the track:
I believe “Azure” was the first track we wrote together with our new drummer Peter. I really like how we made a rumbling verse and soaring chorus. It’s kind of how we want people to vision Vokonis from now on. It’s also got a very cool organ on during the solo. Per Wiberg put his rock n’ roll janitor vibe all over it.
