Byron - Eternal Return (2015) [Hi-Res]

„Eternal Return”, byron’s sixth studio release, is a concept album with 12 songs written over the course of a year, each song corresponding to a particular month. The lyrics speak of the myths, legends and historical events behind each calendar month, transposed into our modern world. Alternatively, the songs can be interpreted as telling the love story between two protagonists, chronicling the ups and downs in their relationship. It is, above all, a meditation on the cyclic nature of life, and the way concepts, ideas and events have a way of recurring throughout history – the so called eternal return.

The band treads the boundary between alternative and progressive rock, with ample, melodic choruses backed by guitars riffs louder than ever before, as present in the lead single “The Sea”. The quieter moments are even more evocative as a result, with future second single “Little by Little” conjuring a nostalgic, melancholy mood that befits its placement as the month of November in the album’s inner calendar.

The album was recorded in High Resolution Audio (24 bit / 96 kHz) at Windmill Lane Recording Studios in Dublin, Ireland, and was mastered at the equally iconic Abbey Road Studios in London, UK by Frank Arkwright (New Order, Joy Division, Blur, Arcade Fire, Biffy Clyro et. al.)
