This Friday, Chicago’s REZN will release their new album, Burden, via Sargent House. Today, they present “Indigo,” the album opener, alongside a visualizer. “Indigo” finds the rhythm section of bassist Phil Cangelosi and drummer Patrick Dunn churning out an authoritative Godflesh-like battery while vocalist/guitarist Rob McWilliams and synth player/saxophonist Spencer Ouellette drape their martial stomp in ominous interwoven melodies. The marriage of brute force with sublime textures has always been a key tactic in REZN’s approach, but the spectrum of the band’s mercurial temperaments has never felt as clearly defined and fully harnessed as it does on Burden.

While REZN’s previous album, Solace, embraced similar contrasts, it leaned towards the loftier peaks in the band’s sound, as evidenced in the album’s artwork of snow topped mountains provided by Adam Burke / Nightjar Illustration. Burden’s artwork is a literal continuation of Solace’s landscape painting, showing the fiery depths at the foot of the mountain range.
Tonight, REZN kick off their North American tour with Pallbearer. Following, they’ll headline dates across the US before heading to Europe to play with Russian Circles. A full list of dates can be found below and tickets for all dates are on sale now.
