Cave Dwellers premiere »Grey Blade« off Wyoming Young And Strong’s new album »Wicked Upon You« out February 9th!

“We are extremely please to bring you the official premiere of »Grey Blade«, the first single from the upcoming album »Wicked Upon You« by Seattle, Washington based stoner/noise rock act Wyoming Young & Strong, out February 9th.” – James Sweetlove (Cave Dwellers)

About »Grey Blade«:

“In this song we tried to capture the flood of different emotions Wyoming has while being rescued by the crew of the »Grey Blade«. At first he’s lost at sea floating alone and certain he is doomed. After days without food and water he is discovered by a dark steel submersible. He believes he’s met his end but the crew lifts him from the water. They bring him to their home where he happens upon an old enemy who tells him the other side of the story of how his home was destroyed his family taken from him. This is a key point in Wyoming’s story as he starts to understand where he fits into a much larger picture and begins to align himself with the people who will guide him on the next stage of his adventure.” – Wyoming Young And Strong

»Wicked Upon You«, Wyoming Young & Strong’s latest release, continues to tell the tale of our fabled hero Wyoming, a man who has journeyed across time and space after being forcibly and unwittingly transported to an unforgiving future. Wyoming has overcome challenges and grown through his adventures, learning about the evolution of humankind and his own magical lineage. His current path ties to his past, as his past ties to his future.

This release finds Wyoming in the midst of realization. Following the events chronicled on the previous »Bend The Night« 7-inch release, he has been apart of losing battle in the Winter War and is now tasked with returning the witches of Tappurien to their home. Enroute, their ship is attacked and destroyed by an ancient, gargantuan beast known as the Tursulas. After floating at sea for days on the wreckage he is captured by the »Grey Blade«. This horrific submersible also holds other enslaved victims of the gods, and one regales him with the tale of Burned Path, outlining how his world has fallen and why Wyoming must find a way through this new hellish landscape of destruction. The »Grey Blade« then delivers him to an old enemy of human kind that can best be described as a nomniscient celestial. This being is all powerful, but yet still derives pleasure from tormenting humans. In the final saga Space Wizard, we hear about one of the mighty but delusional Magi that Wyoming previously met. His recollection of this event helps him understand more about how the Magican at times falter, and what they must do for humankind to ascend.
