Get ready to experience the raw power thrash metal, infused with cultural influences in the debut EP from Saudi Arabia’s DUNE. “Years Of Chains” clocks in at a succinct 18 minutes, with four tracks, each full of tasty riffs, engaging vocals, and a variety of metal elements that keep listeners engaged and offer something new every playthrough. The EP is a testament to the band’s relentless pursuit of heavy music with an aggressive feel and heavy melodies. DUNE shares their excitement for the release:
“Years of Chains” is an EP that we wrote years ago but didn’t get a chance to properly record due to multiple difficulties coming our way, after years we have chosen a list of the songs from the originals we have for the EP. The recording process was fun yet we looked for perfection to make the songs as we imagined them with the best quality that we could make.”
Known for their unique fusion of thrash metal with djent, nu metal, oriental, and groove metal influences, DUNE’s sound is a sonic journey that defies traditional genre boundaries. The EP artwork represents the struggles that we all have, having parts of the lyrics from each song pouring into the skull head and then pouring from the eyes and mouth, a representation of struggles and spiral into madness and to a dark place.
“Years Of Chains” explores themes around culture, urban legends, and personal issues, providing listeners with a unique perspective on heavy music. DUNE’s commitment to delivering an intense and fun experience with raging tones is evident in every track on the EP and is suitable for those who enjoy Testament, Slayer, Pantera, and Metallica.
Dune’s new EP “Years Of Chains” is now available.
