RED CAIN SHARE NEW SINGLE/VIDEO “THE GREAT HUNT”
“NÄE’BLISS” ALBUM OUT JUNE 2ND!
ALBERTA’S PROG-POWER BAND RED CAIN SHARE NEW SINGLE “THE GREAT HUNT” ALONG WITH A LIVE MUSIC VIDEO!
NEW RELEASE DATE: “NÄE’BLISS” ALBUM OUT JUNE 2 – PRE-ORDER HERE
Today, Calgary’s own prog-power band Red Cain drop new single, “The Great Hunt,” from their upcoming album, ‘”NÄE’BLISS,” out everywhere on June 2nd. Accompanying the single, the band shares a music video filmed at their most recent live performance.
“The Great Hunt'” displays the band’s cinematic influences right out of the gate, opening up with a haunting intro and quickly ascending flawlessly into the classic progressive heavy metal sound they are known for. The latest single off of the upcoming album, “NÄE’BLISS,” is reminiscent of Periphery, Kamelot, Mastodon, and others like them, seamlessly blending heavy melodic undertones with progressive power metal instrumentals and striking vocals.
On the single, the band comments: “And now – the Hunt is on! With our last single for the upcoming album ‘NÄE’BLISS’, we are pleased to debut one of the heaviest tracks in the Red Cain repertoire – ‘The Great Hunt’. A stomping, driven ¾ march utilizing 8-string guitars and layers and layers of bass, this track pushes further into the djent riffs present elsewhere on the album, yet contains all of the usual characteristics of a Red Cain anthem – lush electronic backing, soaring, aggressive vocals, and a pulsing, headbanging groove.”

“WE ARE CHAOS” –LISTEN / WATCH
“FISHER KING” – LISTEN / WATCH
Red Cain has released singles and videos for “Blight,” “We Are Chaos,” and “Fisher King,” giving listeners an indication of the band’s reinvented sound. With “Blight”, the band moved the needle firmly into the progressive part of their prog-power style, delivering an atmospheric, chilling, and dynamic performance meant to mimic the unstoppable advancement of the blight over the land. “We Are Chaos” hits hard with technicality and groove, combining the melodic shadowy presence of Kamelot with the controlled aggression of Gojira. Unsettling, bombastic and unrelenting, “Fisher King” showcases a musical and lyrical contest of wills between the “Chosen One” archetype, and his antithetical, flawed, yet lethal opponent caught in his unrelenting march.
The full-length album, ‘NÄE’BLISS’, is set to drop on June 2nd and is inspired by the Wheel Of Time series. An homage to the legendary world of Robert Jordan’s fantasy epic, ‘NÄE’BLISS’, was mixed by Tyler Corbett, Sole Audio, and mastered by Alan Sacha Laskow, Perfect Filth Studios. With a grimdark edge, downtuned guitars, death metal influences, and an unrelenting march forward, ‘NÄE’BLISS’ is a foray into the reverse side of the Wheel of Time story – that of the Forsaken, antagonists, instruments of the Great Lord of the Dark, and the brutal and captivating allure of letting Chaos reign supreme.
On the album, Red Cain comments:
“We are all massive fantasy fans, and for us, Wheel of Time rubs shoulders with LOTR as a genre-defining epic fantasy series that started it all. The world of the Wheel is a brutal, compelling world with multitudes of fascinating characters, and we were particularly interested in exploring its more visceral aspects – an area which begs to be paired with heavy metal. We’ve seen some of our musical icons, like Blind Guardian, successfully go down this path, and it was magnificent to see new musical interpretations of those stories spun out by them – not to mention some bloody good fun. Now, it is our turn to ride forward in another turn of the Wheel.”
