#heavyprog #sunrunnermusic #sunrunner #heliodromus #newenglandheavymetal

Sunrunner creates a fusion of prog rock and 70’s/ 80’s style metal with an eclectic exotic twist. The first release, ‘Eyes of the Master’ (2011) the band was more prog rock with heavy metal leanings. The subtle exploration of ethnic music can be heard throughout most of their music, while additional use of acoustic guitars, flute, violin and percussion, add worldly textures to the heavy music.

With the second release, ‘Time In Stone’ (2013), they delve more into their roots of traditional heavy metal while prog rock influences. The addition of a second guitar, opened up dueling harmonies rounding out the overall sound. “Is it metal? Is it prog? Or some sort of new hybrid?” - The Portland Press on the second album.

‘Heliodromus’ is the third full length album set for release in September 2015 and is their most ambitious to date. With one track clocking in at over 21 minutes (no jamming), the disc explores themes of the Mithraic Mysteries and the rebirth of the Sunrunner creature for a tour through the cosmos. As usual there are inspirations credited to Black Sabbath, Rush, and Iron Maiden. This time get ready for additions of power and doom metal and a lush arrangement of vocal harmonies.

In 2016, the band trimmed itself down into a 3 piece to explore music at its core. Less instrumentation...back to basics...more metal.
