Akkadian - Henosis

The UK tech-metal powerhouse, Akkadian, unleashed their mind-bending, psychedelic new single Henosis on March 21st, 2025, delivering a sonic experience that pushes the boundaries of heavy music.

According to the band, the song [Henosis] "is an Odyssey into the unknown- a psychedelic voyage shared by two lovers who abandon the city life and retreat into the desert in the search of transcendence. Under a endless nights sky, they surrender to the mysteries of the universe, dissolving their physical forms and merging with the cosmic fibres of existence. As they spiral through realms beyond time, they confront both euphoria and terror, navigating the void to uncover ultimate enlightenment. In the end, they realise that the true unity - true Henosis - can only be found by embracing the darkness".

Akkadian are known for delivering fast, hard-hitting, and groove-laden tracks, all infused with powerful psychedelic undertones. Their music isn’t just heavy—it’s deeply immersive, drawing inspiration from ancient history, interdimensional themes, and spiritual exploration. Henosis is the perfect fusion of all these elements, crafting a breathtakingly intense storytelling experience that takes you on a journey like no other.

Vocalist Danny Thurston comments on the release:

"This song is an intense and immersive journey. It stands as one of the heaviest tracks we've ever written, yet beneath the crushing weight of its riffs and intensity lies a feeling of intimacy. This contrast perfectly captures the essence of our songwriting, balancing heavy, dark riffs with tranquil emotion. Compared to our previous releases, this track marks a significant evolution in our sound, reflecting our growth as musicians and our commitment to pushing our own boundaries. We can't wait for people to experience this track and immerse themselves in the energy" - Danny Thurston (Vocalist)

If you’ve never heard of Akkadian before, you’re in for a treat—these guys are insanely talented. They don’t just create music; they craft immersive stories, much like Henosis, and their discography is already packed with monumental tracks. But in our opinion, Henosis stands as Akkadian’s finest release to date.

Now, just imagine: a full studio album—12 tracks weaving an epic narrative through their signature sound—culminating in a live performance that brings it all to life. That would be absolutely mind-blowing.
