March of Scylla just dropped “Storm Dancer,” a gut-punch of post-metal that’s darker than a midnight power outage. The third single from their album Andromeda (March 7, 2025), this track isn’t just music—it’s a full-blown sonic tsunami. Think raging riffs, haunting melodies, and lyrics that stare unblinking into humanity’s ugliest reflexes: tyranny, manipulation, and the slow-motion car crash of societal collapse. Sound familiar? Yeah, the band’s not exactly subtle about mirroring today’s chaos.
Now, who’s behind this apocalyptic symphony?
Greg (ex-Ö-Nirik) and Chris (current Ö-Nirik axeman) cooking up riffs in a studio, then roping in Gilles (Ashura’s drum beast), Rob on bass, and Florian—a prog-death vocalist who probably gargles broken glass. Born from pandemic chaos, their 2020 debut EP Archives was just the opening act. Fast-forward to 2023: they’re tearing up stages, popping up on France 3’s “Les Hauts en Scène”, and even crashing TV news segments. Their second EP, Dark Myth, dialed up the brooding prog vibes, and critics ate it up. Now, with a Bourges Festival nod and a residency at Amiens’ iconic La Lune Des Pirates, these guys are sprinting toward metal’s big leagues.
This track slaps harder than a disgruntled dictator’s manifesto. March of Scylla doesn’t just make music; they weaponize it. “Storm Dancer” isn’t a song—it’s a warning. Those bone-crushing riffs? They’re the soundtrack to our collective unease. Florian’s vocals? A primal scream against the absurdity of power-hungry clowns.
