Beyond The Southern Cross is a concept release, depicting events in the first chapter of a space opera trilogy. It will contain four songs in
VRAIN's signature “Neo Dramatic Cyber Hard” style, a confluence of heavy metal, synthpop and classical-symphonic influences.
The EP comes three years on from the band’s third full-length album,
Lord Of The Lighthouse, and almost a year-and-a-half after their self-cover digital single,
R3-1.
The latter release contained re-recordings of songs from
VRAIN's first two albums -
Soaring Refrain from 2007’s
Rendez Blue and
Shadow Love from 2013’s
VAPTISM of MARS - featuring current vocalist
HAKUYA and keyboardist
SANA.
