FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The progressive metal quartet from the
United States known as Anaya have released their debut EP record
album, titled, “Rewoven Patterns.” The record is comprised of
four original tracks for an approximate total listening time of
twenty minutes. It has been proudly published as an independent
release on the Anaya Productions music records label. A dark,
high-octane and extremely flammable quatrain of songs, “Rewoven
Patterns” represents an exceptionally worthy addition to the
American catalog of progressive metal, and to heavy metal music in
general.
“Rewoven Patterns” is the first
official Anaya record to feature every member of the band: vocalist
Abel Alvarado, bassist Andrew Hooley, drummer Clay Straughan, and
guitarist Cody Montague. They cite as main artistic influences
legends and founding music titans of prog metal such as Meshuggah and
Cynic. Likewise, their musical character retains much of the sound,
tone and style of the experimental metal pioneers who laid the
groundwork before them, such as Pantera and Neurosis.
Taking certain cues from “doom”
metal and other latter-day subgenres, the Anaya sound is more melodic
at times than that of many prog-metal bands that have come before.
Anaya use this to great advantage. The tireless riffing of their
guitars is not unlike the sonorous rising and falling of fiery violin
solos. These soar atop a boiling, roiling pit of undulating, walking
bass lines and drums that thunder Zeus-like throughout their album.
Their vocals have range, punch, and scope, and Anaya includes a
variety of singing styles in their music to keep listeners guessing.
As shadowy as their “Rewoven Patterns” is – and its sonic soul
is truly black – it is also more colorfully creative than much of
what the progressive metal genre produces.
Hailing from the Denver, CO area, Anaya
have been headlining metal concerts and gracing the waves of local
metal radio programs in preparation for the landmark release of
“Rewoven Patterns.” With an ever-growing and ravenous fan base,
their EP is hitting online stores with plenty of anticipation. Their
official BandCamp page promises that, “A full-length LP is
currently in the works and is expected to be released early 2014.”
“Rewoven Patterns” by Anaya is
available online worldwide.
