It's been a very busy summer for Canadian metal band Osyron. They performed at Western Canada's decibel-breaking metal fest Loud As Hell, were nominated for a Calgary YYC Music Award for Metal Recording of the Year for their 2020 album "Foundations" and they have peaked the Canadian College Radio Loud Charts at #2 during July 2021 for their latest record and reissue of "Kingsbane: Deluxe Edition".
Continuing to support the promotion of "Kingsbane: Deluxe Edition" that was released earlier this spring on May 14th, Osyron is sharing their latest music video for the song "Razor's Wind", which is one of three rewritten and rearranged bonus tracks on the reissue.
The new music video for "Razor's Wind" was directed and edited by Osyron guitarist Krzysztof Stalmach.
"This song was originally a folk metal opus, telling the tale of how the reluctant hero of the Kingsbane story was finally answering the call to adventure; to leave his safe shores and journey into the unknown. The song muses about all his coming struggles; from within and without.

Osyron's latest release "Kingsbane: Deluxe Edition" features all original recordings plus bonus tracks remixed by bassist Tyler Corbett and remastered by drummer Cody Anstey. The decision to re-release the record along with three rewritten and rearranged bonus tracks for Viper Queen, Griefmaker and Razor's Wind (Acoustic) with current drummer Cody Anstey (original recordings were with former drummer Trevor Cobb) was an easy one after the great reception the band received from new fans for their 2020 album "Foundations".
“Doing a re-release was never on our radar before, and definitely not something we previously considered for such a long and fleshed out album. However, we felt that this album could do with a proper release in our target markets, and we had lots of time over the pandemic to try and breathe some new life into it. As such, we set out to remix and re-master the whole album, along with re-recording 3 songs in re-arranged states as singles. These three songs were picked based on their reception live, our personal connection to them, or for the amount of potential we saw in re-arranging them. We’re super excited to get all these songs out for you in a higher quality mix, but we’re easily most excited to get you to hear these new takes on some of our “classics”. "
The storyline for "Kingsbane"
is about a hero who must reluctantly take up arms against a tyrant king
in a neighbouring land. Along the way, he faces many inward, and
outward challenges he must overcome to achieve his goal. Through it all,
the hero learns a valuable lesson that even though they are duty-bound
to stop this great evil, this great evil is also in the eye of the
beholder. They discover that the weight of absolute power has the
potential to corrupt absolutely - maybe not all villains are as
one-dimensional as they seem from the outset.
Osyron's "Kingsbane: Deluxe Edition" is recommended for fans of Nightwish, Dream Theater, and Wintersun.

EPK
Osyron is a symphonic metal band based in Calgary, Alberta. The group consists of vocalist Reed Alton, guitarists Krzysztof Stalmach and Bobby Harley, bassist Tyler Corbett, and drummer Cody Anstey. Bridging the gap between traditional European metal and the music of their homegrown contemporaries, Osyron has a sound all their own.
Performing alongside numerous major acts such as Norther, Protest The Hero, Into Eternity, Threat Signal, and The Agonist, Osyron's next goal is to take their sound across the Atlantic in the flesh (post-Covid).
