The Knights of Heliopolis, a band known for their
"Rolist Symphonic Metal," has released a new EP consisting of five
singles. Unlike their usual style, these singles serve as side stories within
the Helioverse, featuring the knights as "planeswalkers" who can
traverse different worlds and dimensions. The narratives don't follow the main
storyline of their previous works but instead focus on chasing the malevolent
Beast across universes inspired by famous video games.
The EP pays homage to beloved video games such as
Elden Ring, Warhammer 40K, Final Fantasy VII, and a YouTube channel called La
Bonne Auberge, known for its Role Playing Game content. The band collaborates
with La Bonne Auberge on a song related to their lore, emphasizing their shared
'Rolist Symphonic Metal' identity. Musically, the EP explores modern symphonic
and Power Metal, aligning with the diverse universes they draw inspiration
from. Each single adopts a unique approach, ranging from a progressive sound in
'The Planeswalkers' to an epic, bombastic feel in 'In The Shadow Of The
Erdtree' and even an Industrial Metal style in 'Adeptus Astartes.'
Despite the varied musical exploration, the EP retains
the signature elements of the Knights of Heliopolis, including Axel's deep bass
voice, heavy riffing, epic orchestrations, thunderous bass, and impactful
drums. Overall, the band aims to immerse listeners in a new adventure within
the multiverse while paying tribute to the video game worlds that inspire their
music.
