Lyric Video For New Song "How We Become Ephemeral Birds" Issued By Xaon

Swiss Dark Metal band Xaon has released a lyric video for the new song "How We Become Ephemeral Birds," which appears on the forthcoming EP "Face of Balaam." Check out the video in the player below.

Xaon will release the debut EP on October 16th. The official video for first single "Discrowned," featuring vocals by Soilwork's Björn "Speed" Strid, can be viewed at this location.

"Face of Balaam" was produced and arranged by band members Vinc and Flo, recorded between June and August 2015, mixed and mastered by Julian at Parallel Focus Studios. Vocals engineered by Rob Carson at Carsonian Sound Solutions. All vocals, except "Discrowned," by were performed by Franco-American singer Rob Carson. Samples on "How we become Ephemeral Birds" and "Discrowned" by J.-P. Lana.

Brilliant melodies combine with the aggression of Death Metal throughout "Face of Balaam," yet that description doesn't quite do justice to the range of styles influencing the sound of XAON. Consider the contributions of legendary acts like Anathema, Type O Negative, My Dying Bride, Soilwork, Demonical, Ulver and even Disgrace's early-to-mid 90s output, and you'll get the picture.

The track listing is:

1. How We Become Ephemeral Birds
2. Discrowned
3. When the Everlasting Gardens Die Away
4. The Soulcleaner
5. Veins like Burned Trees (The Awe That Walketh in Obscurity, Part 1)
