It’s time for another video from cye-The Band. The Swiss progressive rockers present the track “4th Movement” from their new album “The Strange Animal From The North“.
“4th Movement” isn’t just a song either. It’s an epic that fits seamlessly into the band’s previous work. Once again a unique and complex masterpiece has been created, which takes the listener into a completely different world far away from everyday mainstream life.
The album will be released on September 2nd, 2022. “The Strange Animal From The North” was recorded by the band themselves in Fehraltorf, the mix comes from Felix Müller from the Tonstudio Nagelfabrik in Wetzikon.
A few weeks ago cye-The Band already presented some snippets in a trailer which you can view HERE.
The band about their music: When the time-space continuum is slightly ‘bent’ and causality gives way to interactions, stories like Gustafsson’s emerge; there are ‘irregularities’ in the linear understanding – the sense of time is tricked, as the music can – ! And: Different realities create an ‘uncertain’ (unnerving) spectrum of perception (also woven into our music), which makes everything appear relative.
cye-The Band isn’t about short-lived hits from the chart factory, it’s about much more. It is about the ability to perceive the complex structures with all senses.
The story of cye-The Band stretches through the last decades like a mighty epic. It all began in 1978 when René Tecklenburg (keys), Marko Heinemann (git), Robert Ackermann (bs), Peter Lüthi (dr) and Claude Ledermann (voc) founded the band RITUAL. In the years that followed, both the band name and the line-up changed again and again. Since 2017, however, the current project cye-The Band with a permanent line-up of René Tecklenburg (keys) and Marko Heinemann (git) and Billy Oden (dr) has stood as a rock.
Even 43 years after the Swiss started their first ambitious group, the musicians are still burning for their passion, music. The current songs show that music in this decade does not have to be characterized by mainstream and monotony. Four experienced musicians are at work here, presenting progressive rock music in its most original and timeless form.
