HERCYN
Mystic. Earthen. Psychedelic vision. A compelling tapestry. A resonant journey.
These are words others have used to describe Hercyn.
Hercyn formed in 2010 as a personal folk conclave to explore deep, dark and epic music between friends Ernest and Michael.
The acoustic timbres explored visions of death, forests and esoteric space all while living under the shadow of urbanism. As time progressed, the duo realized they needed to expand their sonic visions if they were to continue to fuel their desire to compose epic songs. Overdriven guitars, mossy synths, and thundering drums were added to create a live constellation of what is present day Hercyn channeling the desire for a world beyond our own.
The fall of 2013 saw the DIY release of Magda, the 24 minute epic with mournful and somber rises and atmospheric decays. Juxtaposed next to the electric and dense Magda was the B-side (2014) chamber version of Magda feature prominent acoustics, mandolin and violin. 2014 continues with the late summer release of All This Suffering Is Not Enough – a split release with Brooklyn doom act Thera Roya. The darkness grows for Hercyn.
