Scottish metallers Giant launch 'Kairos' video ahead of debut EP release

Far-flung Scottish prog/tech-metallers Giant launched the video for their new track 'Kairos' today (August 24).

It features on their upcoming debut EP 'Chronos // Kairos', which is released online on Friday (August 28).

Conjoined by a mutual appreciation of distortion, outside-the-box-thinking and flannel shirts, Giant - comprised of guitarist Jamie Hatch and bassist Chris Cope - are Britain’s most northerly prog/tech-metal band.

The Shetland duo are releasing their self-released debut EP ‘Chronos // Kairos’ on August 28 - a two-track effort that’s a rollercoaster of plunging breakdrowns, prog exploration and epic grandeur.

Opener ‘Chronos’ is over six minutes of metal bombast, channelling wild western hues in the middle of the track, while flagship song ‘Kairos’ - which clocks in at over ten minutes - is an adventure through up-down dynamics that’s both accessible and challenging.

 

   

 

Taking inspiration from the likes of Between The Buried And Me, Every Time I Die and The Dillinger Escape Plan, Giant - whose members feature in many other local Shetland acts - create a big sound; pun most definitely intended.

'This is uplifting...manages to be both complex yet danceable' - Malcolm Dome (Metal Hammer/TeamRock, ex-Kerrang!) 

'Monster music! Soaring, technically intimidating, riff-laden guitar fire' - Ally McCrae (ex-Radio 1) 

'Expansive and technically excellent - would like to hear it live and get lost in it' - Detour Scotland

‘Love it!' - Jim Gellatly (XFM Radio)
