NEWS: Eschalon make their debut with “Helios”!

…with a little help from producer Meyrick de la Fuente (Exist Immortal, Arcaeon, Death Remains) at Floodgate Audio, videographer Jake Ten and guest vocalist Neema Askari (Form Subtract, ex-Fellsilent, ex-Monuments), Technical Metalcore collective Eschalon have paid tribute to their fallen brother and former Carcer City drummer Karl Riley with their debut single “Helios“. They made their live debut in September alongside Vexed and Pulse at The Six Six bar in Cambridge and will play Grim Fest over the weekend of 25th and 26th November…

The band comment: “The first single ‘Helios’ is a tribute to one of the pillars of the tech metal community in the UK. The band continue: “On November 1st, 2022 we lost our dear friend Karl Riley of Carcer City. Karl had been a supporter of Eschalon for many years, and had introduced us to our vocalist Brad. Brad was Karl’s best friend, and cared for him until the very end. Karl had become obsessed with number synchronicities and had been telling his friends, family and nurses that the numbers ‘11122’ were important to his life, but that he did not know what they meant. Having predicted the date of his own passing, we felt this was an important date and marked it as a date we should honour as a band. We decided that 1/11/23, a year on from Karl’s passing, we would release Helios in loving memory of Karl Riley, to honour him, and our relationship as a band which he hand a significant hand in forging”
