about
The latest single from the upcoming album "Reflecting the Shadows", titled "Cycle", will be released on Friday, April 14, 2023. The song is one of the more ravaging tracks on the album and shakes the boundaries of the listener's reality. Musically, the song is powerful and epic in Vansidian’s style, but especially the super catchy chorus sets it apart from other band’s releases. The narrator, who moves between the past and the future, tries to correct the flow of time in his favor. In his desperation, he travels through time and eventually believes he might find the right path.
lyrics
This time it is going to be different than before
This time I'm going to be careful
Choosing unpredictable, the right, from two wrongs
Getting closer, once more
Again door closes behind me
The draft might even comfort me
Outside it all seems familiar
But not the same
Yet the same
I'm gonna make sure every precaution is made
My tracks'll fade in sands of time
This puzzle forming adding pieces one by one
A bigger picture
For that I'm sure
Don't wanna
Reach out and hold you cause you don't know me
I'm gonna
Take things slowly
I'm gonna
Find out solution to fix this cycle
This cannot be left to a change
Decades come and gone
One day to leave a mark
A track that leads to a moment
Past and the present, all mixed in memory lapse
Future undetermined, stare through the looking glass
Things aren't what they appear, repeat a careful act
The only one to mend it
Is you
Again door closes behind me
The draft might even comfort me
Outside it all seems familiar
But not the same
Yet the same
Once put in motion, I know It can't be stopped
33 years
It opens a knot
There is a pattern, another hint, a hidden clue, blink of an eye
Another lie
Don't wanna
Reach out and hold you, cause you don't know me
I'm gonna
Take things slowly
I'm gonna
Find out solution, to fix this cycle
This cannot be left to a change
Decades come and gone
one day to leave a mark
A track that leads to a moment
So wrong
Don't wanna
Reach out and hold you, cause you don't know me
I'm gonna
Take things slowly
I'm gonna
Find out solution, to fix this cycle
This cannot be left to a change
Decades come and gone
One day to leave a mark
A track that leads to a moment

Vansidian stands out for following the least traditional path of metal bands nowadays,
combining an
impressive variety of influences,
thus delivering a sound that covers the whole spectrum of heavy metal subgenres.
Retro video game-inspired melodies with galloping death metal riffs,
melodic hooks and richly combinative vocals,
simultaneously maintaining an oldschool heavy metal orientation....more
Finnish death metallers leaven infernal dynamics with triumphant, infectious melodies, striking a compelling balance between grit and grace. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 25, 2023
These California up-and-comers don't merely pay tribute to ’90s death metal; they make it their own by taking charge and letting it rip. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
