Easing us in with cosmic textures and risers with enigmatic bells, drums and electric guitar, we are immediately immersed in Henry Lemoin‘s debut opus, The Great Awaits.
As the track evolves we are witness to a progressive metal journey through space and time.
The Great Awaits features Henry Lemoin on guitars, bass, and keyboards, as well as mixing and mastering duties, along with session musicians Naman Sachdev (drums) and Manuel Trabucco (saxophone).
We love the journey that the track takes us on, it is somewhat cerebral and mesmerizing with waves of emotion that have us completely hypnotized. The cinematic builds with electric guitar give so much energy and we were fascinated to learn that The Great Awaits was originally curated as an ambient guitar piece.
The debut single from the rising artist has since evolved into an epic masterpiece with over seven minutes of spellbinding riffs, creative drumwork and soaring lead solos reflecting a story of personal growth and achievement for Henry Lemoin.
The Great Awaits‘ aptly provides a glistening snapshot into Henry Lemoin‘s epic, emotive, and multilayered and multi-dimensional sound, and serves as a teaser of the release of his forthcoming debut album, which we cannot wait to hear. Meanwhile, The Great Awaits has been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist!
