“Chicago heavy experimentalists” (Brooklyn Vegan) REZN present “Rites of Passage,” a new single/video off their forthcoming album, Cycles in the Infinite Dream, out 24th July via Sargent House. Throughout “Rites of Passage,” we are treated to the Tangerine Dream-like synth tapestries of multi-instrumentalist Spencer Ouellette before the hammer falls in the combined force of Rob McWilliams’ bottom-heavy guitar, Phil Cangelosi’s full-bodied bass, and Patrick Dunn’s stomping drum patterns. It’s a decadent indulgence in both the lizard-brain craving for big riffs and the audiophile’s thirst for dimension and aura. “We wanted to go for a barreling, rolling feel between the rhythm and lead, so this one felt perfect for emphasizing those elements while giving you a glimpse into the rest of the album,” McWilliams states. “The end payoff is the epitome of that feeling, just letting it ride with a thousand-pound drone to send you off on the journey.” Watch the Video for REZN’s “Rites of Passage” Over the last decade, REZN have carved out a unique place in the landscape of heavy music, chiseling away at the crude formations of the topography, mining the most concentrated metallic ore from the dirt, and shaping it all into something monumental, imposing, and divine. While they’ve always fused seismic riffs with effortless beauty and grandeur, their shifting strategies for wielding that polarity have involved varied compositional and stylistic decisions, most notably the light-and-dark contrast of companion albums Solace (2023) and Burden (2024). With Cycles in the Infinite Dream, REZN masterfully harness the oppressive weight of their full sonic armory to celestial melodies and sublime synesthesia-inducing atmospherics in a manner so seamless it feels otherworldly, as if occupying a liminal space between two realities. While REZN traffic in the unbridled realms of metal and untethered reaches of psychedelia, Cycles in the Infinite Dream showcases a band working with discipline and intention, even when those intentions are rendered to be purposefully cryptic. As the title implies, the album explores the nexus of our waking and nocturnal worlds. Much like the subconscious-guided work of David Lynch, Cycles in the Infinite Dream exists as parallax between the artist and the audience, creating an obscured and distorted space that is both familiar and alien, like a corridor into our past where we recognize our surroundings but somehow still feel lost within its warped geometry. REZN first gave a taste of the album with “Cloudfall,” a track “richly layered with newly introduced lap steel guitar work and ethereal melodies to boast. In short, Cycles… is an album you’ll want to add to your essential listening lists moving forward” (Heaviest of Art). This autumn, REZN will tour across North America. A full list of dates can be found below and tickets are on sale now. Pre-order Cycles in the Infinite Dream Watch REZN’s Video for “Cloudfall”
