“Celestial Wisdom” Out
December 2nd
|
Vis Mystica is Star Wars-themed
power metal coming from the mind of Pennsylvania’s Connor McCray, a massive fan
of the franchise. So far, all of his lyrics have been his retelling of the Dawn
of the Jedi comics from Dark Horse Comics, and the first compilation of songs
is ready for the galaxy in the debut EP “Celestial Wisdom” via Dark Star Records on
December 2nd. Three singles have already been released and the fourth, “Beyond the Gates of Fury” is
being presented now in lyric video format. The band comments on the single:
“The final song on the EP is, fittingly, the most “furious”.
Fury deals with the final battle between the Rakatans and Tythonians and
culminates with the fulfillment of the prophecy that was first spoken of in
“Lux Et Veritas”. This is the end of our first tale but leads directly into the
next story arc we will be writing about.”
Vis Mystica was initially formed by
McCray, in late 2015 as a creative outlet to pursue his passion for symphonic
power metal while he was still a member of a blackened death metal band at the
time. It took nearly five years for the band to get off the ground but really
began to pick up steam once McCray discussed it with his friend and bandmate
Devin Dewyer. Once they realized the chemistry between them, they got to work
on producing this initial EP.
“Celestial Wisdom” is a fantastical
journey into a world full of mystic powers and sprawling landscapes, with a
classic “Good vs. Evil” battle, many memorable locations, and detailed stories.
Vis Mystica is recommended for Star
Wars fans and those who like Blind Guardian, Iron Maiden and Bal-Sagoth. They
also have a crowdfunding campaign set up for the EP.
