Sunrunner is a heavy-prog trio formed in 2008 in Portland, Maine, USA. The term refers to the sound of classic heavy metal mixed with progressive rock elements, different from progressive metal.

The band debuted with the album »Eyes Of The Master« (2011), a prog rock record with heavy metal leanings. Since then, their second album »Time In Stone« (2013), Sunrunner had solidified more into a metal band with prog rock influence, using elements of jazz and acoustic instruments such as violin, flute, bouzouki and percussion. »Heliodromus«, the third full-length was released in September 2015 by Minotauro Records (Italy), defining the term “heavy-prog” as the band’s genre.

»Heliodromus« got excellent response from European and Brazilian press as well. The tour in promotion of »Heliodromus« included dates in USA, South America and Russia, where they’ve played at Belomor-Boogie Festival.

Back to the US, Sunrunner started to work on it’s fourth album, »Ancient Arts Of Survival«, which was released in September of 2018. Between October and November of the same year they embarked for its first European Tour. Sunrunner played 11 shows in seven countries: Germany, Holland, Belgium, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Czech Republic.

Sunrunner’s fifth album, »Sacred Arts Of Navigation«, was recorded in Portland, Maine and produced by the Grammy nominee Marcus Jidell (Candlemass). The album was released by the German label Fastball Music in March of 2022.

Bringing together 11 brand new tracks, »Sacred Arts Of Navigation« is a “thematic, but not conceptual album”, as Joe explains. “The new album is a continuation of the previous record. A future world of technology mixed with the re-introduction of ancient survival skills. It is a thematic album, not a concept. The songs stand alone, but all fit together.

»Sacred Arts Of Navigation« is now available to stream on all digital platforms! Get your copy of the CD in the band’s store.
