Guitarist/vocalist Gyula Vasvári told Metal Sucks: “‘Tavasszal a Vadak’ is the opener of our new album Agg. This song was born as a result of rehearsal jam sessions and improvising. We originally intended to put it in a different place on the album due to its heavier character. However, as the concept of the new release evolved, we decided to put it right at the beginning, thereby giving the album the intonation we had always imagined. We love it!”

'Tavasszal a Vadak' is the second single which opens new album Agg, seven tracks inspired by the world's ever-increasing moral decline and turmoil, that is both abrasive and yet strangely comforting; a smorgasbord of dark sounds, emotions and feelings.

The band are about to embark on a Euro headline tour in support of 'Tavasszal a Vadak' and previous single 'Erdő'. Catch them on the following dates:

1/11 - Brno - Bajkazyl, CZ
2/11 - České Budějovice - Velbloud Music Ba, CZ
4/11 - Strasbourg - Le Local, FR
6/11 - Chambéry - Brin de Zinc, FR
7/11 - Delemont - The Pub Fiction, CH
9/11 - Maribor - Gustaf Pekarna, SL

PERIHELION fuse psychedelic rock, avant-garde metal and post-black metal, to create a sound that is atmospheric, ethereal, beautiful and haunting in equal measure. A band who use dynamics as much as melody, the quartet create captivating soundscapes with many twists and turns; each track is a journey in its own right.

Translating as "very very old" in archaic Hungarian, Agg is a concept album about escapism. Each track has a different take on the process of heading towards death, the ultimate escape, which serves as a sour metaphor for the decline of humanity. Agg was recorded live in a rehearsal space with the view to creating something truly natural and atmospheric, and the result is a chilling and distinctly organic sound.

Having played together since 2001, PERIHELION officially formed in 2012 and released their self-titled debut that year. In 2014 they followed up with an EP entitled Nap fele néz which caught the attention of respected French label Apathia records, who released their sophomore album Zeng in 2015. Subsequent releases Hold (EP 2016) and Örvény (album 2017) gained the band huge international attention, which saw them tour Europe, play festivals in France and Switzerland, and open for Zeal & Ardor and Tormentor.
