What happens when humankind leaps to the stars and falls into a chasm? VargerKron invites listeners to step into a stunning, outlandish world where advanced technology, space-faring vision, and human emotion collide with their new single, "The Exploration Of Space."
The song feels like a narrative space opera. Its riffs and harmonies liken the expanse of the universe, but the massive drums are hoping to remind you that it's entirely dire here. The brilliant combination of power metal epicness and melodic modern metalcore aggression feels mind-blowing as its subject matter. Warmth is at the centre of "The Exploration Of Space," an epic and intimate tale. Meanwhile, in an alternate universe, the human race has mastered impossible space travel through sheer force of will and atom-busting acceleration. With Earth on the brink of extinction, humanity looks for a new world to colonize. We are with one lone astronaut, unmoored from Earth, and cut off from his fellow travelers as he drifts in silence. The fate of himself and maybe his race hangs in the balance. Is there any hope, or will he be the final echo of humanity among the stars?
With this offering, VargherKron solidifies themselves as storytellers and musicians alike, creating not only a song but an entire universe happening alongside our own. Crushing and anthemic in equal measure, "The Exploration Of Space" is a statement of intent from the band. Stories are told of times and places where metal becomes myth. So lock in and turn up the volume, because we have lift off. VargerKron are not so much playing music as they are charting some course into the unknown.
