Progressive death metal band The Zenith Passage have made their return with a brand new single, Fleshbound Reliquary. The track marks the band’s first release since 2023 and serves as their first new material since welcoming drummer Max Sepulveda back in October 2024. Produced by Dave Otero (known for his work with Cattle Decapitation and Archspire), Fleshbound Reliquary showcases the band’s signature technical mastery and progressive style.
Vocalist Derek Rydquist shared insight into the song’s themes:
“Fleshbound Reliquary depicts a world and existence where resources have been so ravaged that we are forced to look towards ourselves as the means of production for what comes next.”
Guitarist Justin McKinney elaborated on the track’s intricate musical composition:
“Musically, the track features a series of tightly interlocked rhythmic motifs executed with laser precision, all within a traditional song structure. The piece is primarily in 3, culminating in a grand, climactic resolution of the main motif that transitions into a powerful 4 feel for an epic close.”
The Zenith Passage have already showcased Fleshbound Reliquary several times during their ongoing tour as support for Entheos, Fallujah, and openers Tracheotomy. The remaining dates on the tour are as follows:
12/02 Tampa, FL – Orpheum
12/03 Orlando, FL – Conduit
12/04 Atlanta, GA – Masquerade (Purgatory)
12/05 Asheville, NC – Eulogy
12/06 Nashville, TN – The End
