Nik Hayes, operating under his solo metal endeavor Aramis, presents his latest single, ‘Icarus and The Fall’.
This 3:28-minute track blends elements of thrash, melodic death, and progressive metal, weaving a narrative around the final moments of the Greek mythological figure, Icarus, as he descends to his demise.
The song captivates with its dynamic composition, featuring rapid shifts in instrumentation and a fusion of both harmonic and harsh vocals.
The accompanying artwork, drawn from Nik’s own photography collection, portrays a vivid scene of a blue sky set against foreboding clouds.
Originally conceived in 2022, ‘Icarus and The Fall’ missed a contest deadline but found new life following the release of Aramis’s 2023 album, ‘Crimson’.
Through its lyrics, the song delves into Icarus’s contemplations during his fall, ultimately delivering a poignant message about the importance of learning from one’s actions.
Hailing from California’s Bay Area, Aramis emerged as a solo project in 2021 and has been signed with SODEH Records since 2022, consistently delivering compelling compositions within the metal genre.
