My latest pick of the hottest pops takes us on an epic trip to partake in a Fosaken Rite on the northern plains of Edmonton, Canada. Whipping up ‘The Storm’ with the lead single from their forthcoming new EP, the five-piece release their first new music in seven years, continuing to weave intricate tales of adventure, battles, and travels on the sequel to 2017’s ‘The Northern Saga’:
The band described the new EP as a combination of “new stories, new experiences, [and] excitement“.
The adventurers are traveling West and encounter a terrible storm. As if something greater has other plans for their journey, they must weather its forces in order to survive and continue on their path. A catchy sing-a-long song with clean and distorted vocals and various folk elements. The instrumental section is percussive and brings together multiple folk instruments and melodies.
