NoCleanSinging Premiere TIDES OF KHARON’s Title Track “Coins Upon Our Eyes”
From Upcoming Greek Mythology Themed Debut EP Out July 21st
From Upcoming Greek Mythology Themed Debut EP Out July 21st
Few things go together better than melodic death metal and ancient mythology. The debut EP from Edmonton, Alberta’s TIDES OF KHARON, is the latest addition to this perfect combo. Entitled “Coins Upon Our Eyes”, the debut goes hand in hand with the band name, taken from the lore of the boatman on the river Styx who ferries the dead to the underworld, taking the coins left on the eyes of a corpse as his payment. TIDES OF KHARON fully embrace the Greek mythology themes in their songs and their first EP is a culmination of several different tales taking from the ancient pantheon.
Originally started by brothers Cam, Ryan and Justin Rehman in 2014 with a desire to play shows in front of people, TIDES OF KHARON quickly became a fan favorite in the Edmonton music community. The solidification of Gord Alexander on drums and Garrett Nelson on vocals finally cemented the sound the band sought and the production of the EP could begin. Citing inspiration from titans in the genre including Amon Amarth, At the Gates and early In Flames, the band is definitely in the running alongside their Swedish counterparts.
Finally, their debut EP is ready to be unleashed upon the public on July 21st and teaming up with NoCleanSinging.com, the quintet is premiering the title track.
The band comments:
“The EP is the culmination of several years of writing and performing material in an attempt to solidify what we would define as our sound. Lyrically the title track ‘Coins Upon Our Eyes’ is a discussion on existentialism within the setting of Greek mythology, and the indifference of gods that you know are real. The rest of the tracks follow suit with lyrical themes involving, the rape of Medusa, Orpheus’ quest to bring back his dead wife, and an unending battle involving the sons of the god of war, Ares. The EP is just the beginning with several songs already complete and numerous in the works a full length album won’t be far off.”

Citing inspiration from titans in the genre including Amon Amarth, At the Gates and early In Flames, the band is definitely in the running alongside their Swedish counterparts.
Their vivid storytelling and engaging stage presence has led them to be invited to play Metallion Festival for the third straight year, and to Loud as Hell for their debut year. They’ve been honoured to share the stage with many other local favorite bands at almost every venue in the city and after the release of the EP are looking to branch out and hit the road on tour.
“We’d describe our sound as something people can involve themselves with. Our lyrics are conceptual in the sense that they tell a story or are related to myth in one form or another. While it hits you hard, we feel that people can relate to the material and get them moving.” – Gord Alexander
