“Find me a song written inside of suffering or struggle and you will find a song that will be worth hearing.”
-Guy Hinton, creator, songwriter, and guitarist, EchoSoul
Emerging progressive metal band, Echosoul, releases their upcoming single, “Path of the Righteous”, to be followed by their second album, “Time of the Dragon”, out in November. Echosoul’s debut album featured a collaboration of mega artists, including Tim “Ripper” Owens of Judas Priest, Iced Earth, and Samus Paulicelli, and made its way to Album of the Year in Germany and Top 10 throughout Europe – listen to “The End of Darkness” HERE (released in 2020).
Their new single continues their success with new single “Path of the Righteous”, a slamming metal-infused anthem that oozes of power and courage, and tells a tale of fighting for love in the most honorable way. “Path of the Righteous” is available on all major digital media distributors Apple Music, AmazonMusic, YouTube Music, and Spotify.
Described as progressive metal with a power metal base and hints of death metal and symphonic metal, Echo Soul layers textures from influences ranging from Iron Maiden, Priest, Queensyche, King Diamond, Sanctuary, Nevermore, Iced Earth, and Dream Theater to Diviner. Echosoul combines elements of classic rock and metal in this release, with a unique modern twist in “Path of the Righteous.” Slamming drums from Tyler Witte give the track a heavy and infectious undertone, while vocals from Rob Lundgren bring dramatic emotion and power. Lyrics like “I am proud to suffer, I will die to defend her, the path of the righteous is all I desire. So here is all I am with all the pain buried deep, my armor covers up my scars” demonstrate Hinton’s ability to convey true raw emotion and pain within his lyrics, as well as tremendous courage. EchoSoul hopes to share that listeners can overcome any painful experience that stands in their way with this track.
