“Night Crawling” is a three track digital EP from Halcyon Way mixed and mastered by Mark Lewis (Whitechapel, Trivium, Bad Wolves, Threat Signal). The EP features two brand new compositions and a cover of Miley Cyrus’s song. The latter was mixed by Zach Householder.
“Like just about every band out there, the pandemic was a huge kick in the dick for Halcyon Way, and we had a lot of tours canceled or postponed,” comments guitarist Jon Bodam. “We had a period of serious writer’s block that we finally punched through and we’re hard at work on a new record. However, we decided to have some fun recording a cover version of Night Crawling by Miley Cyrus and we decided to release an EP with that as well as 2 more tracks while we prep to get back out on the road.”
Halcyon Way is the ultimate example of blue-collar work ethic, self-reliant bootstrapping, and hard work & perseverance in spite of nearly insurmountable odds. The award winning band has released four albums worldwide, performed on 4 continents, and about 20 countries and counting. The band has toured extensively with the likes of Saxon, Sabaton, Queensryche, Fates Warning, Fozzy, Skid Row, U.D.O.,Delain, Geoff Tate’s Operation: Mindcrime and most recently Metal Church (2018’s North American tour). Halcyon Way's sound cannot be neatly slotted into any sub-category of metal. It can be described as heavy, catchy, technical, progressive and above all, focused on strong songcraft. From Megadeth to Dream Theater, to Testament and Chimaira - Halcyon Way draws influences & inspiration from many metal bands. Their last installment – 2018’s "Bloody But Unbowed" – pleased the fans with a magnitude of catchy hooks, vocal harmonies a la King’s X or Stryper, and heavy, technical, yet ultimately accessible instrumentation.
