AZIOLA CRY maintains their progressive sound with new single “Denial Patterns”
Aziola Cry, comprised of Jason Blake, Mike Milaniak, and Tommy Murray, has released a new music video for their single “Denial Patterns.” The video was captured during the band’s enthralling performance at ProgStock.
Blake expressed that “Denial Patterns” was the first song he penned for the upcoming album, chosen as the lead track due to its resonance with their previous work. Thematically, the song delves into the notion of something being amiss but overlooked.
The single is a glimpse into Aziola Cry’s forthcoming album, Dysphoria Ritual, which narrates the gradual withdrawal of a solitary individual into seclusion. Initially rooted in instinct, the retreat evolves into an inward imprisonment, blurring the boundaries between joy and despair.
Dysphoria Ritual was recorded and mixed by Steven Gillis at Transient Sound, with additional recording by Amery Schmeisser at Gravel Road Recording, and mastered by Grammy Award-winning engineer Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound. The album is adorned with artwork by acclaimed artist Travis Smith, emphasizing the band’s dedication to depth, intricacy, and artistic coherence.
Scheduled for release on April 17 through 7D Media on CD and digital platforms, Dysphoria Ritual is now available for pre-order.
