SkyEye - Will Put Out 'Soldiers Of Light' Album In June
Slovenian heavy metal formation SkyEye have announced the release of their second studio album, Soldiers Of Light, on June 25th, 2021 via Reaper Entertainment. The outing was produced and mixed by Grega Smola Crnkovič and was mastered by Boban Milunović who is known for his work with Graveworm, Belphegor, Jack Frost and many more. One of the songs, "Constellation", has already been released last summer. Check it out in the form of an official video.
The band states: "We are happy to announce that two years of hard work is finally packed into 57 heavy metal minutes. Our second album titled Soldiers Of Light is finished! The old saying goes "never change the winning horse". That's why we once again collaborated with our producer and mix engineer Grega Smola Crnkovič, who also produced our debut album the Digital God. We wanted our album to sound huge and modern without losing the soul, the rock 'n roll side of metal by not being overcompressed and overproduced. Album sounds fantastic thanks to Grega and our mastering engineer Boban Milunović, which did phenomenal work. There are eight songs on the album and two instrumental tracks. Each song tells its own story. We covered many different themes. From asteroid approaching the Earth ("Detonate") to a story about child molestation by a pedophile priest ("Son Of God") to an epic 15 minutes long song about the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl. The artwork was based upon the title song Soldiers Of Light and was done by Aleksandar ?ivanov who is also known for his fabulous work with Metaldays festival. We just gave him the lyrics with some basic instructions and we immediately fell in love with the artwork. Very powerful and symbolic, in your face kind of a positive burst of energy. Sadly we can see nowadays, that the truth is dying, the world is falling apart and we the people are more divided than ever. That's why we need to let the light back into our lives. SkyEye's torch is glowing in the dark to cast out the shadows from people's lives with music. Because music is the healer and "we are the soldiers of light with no weapons to fight, just shinning, just shining. Knowledge is God, God in us all. Wisdom is heaven on Earth."
