Chicago progressive metal masters Dissona have just released the first stunning single ‘The Prodigal Son‘ from their new EP ‘Dreadfully Distinct‘, coming November 10th via Earache Distribution.

Dissona spent six months filming the video across a variety of different locations and used working Chicago actors to portray the characters depicted in the video!

This entire EP focuses around the Blade Runner universe, fictional material that is of great importance to Dissona. ‘The Prodigal Son‘ focuses on bits of untold story centered around Roy Batty. The band offers an overview of the song’s structure below:

“The track tensely opens with a newscast highlighting the release of the Nexus 6, Eldon Tyrell’s newest and most advanced replicant series to date. The band enters with an exciting instrumental section as Roy’s journey unfolds. As the song progresses, we experience an astonishing and awe-inspiring instrumental section that paints the delicate “C beams” Roy pleasantly describes witnessing. The situation turns, however, as new energies enter his mind. A four-year lifespan is simply not enough for him and he takes violent steps to return to Earth and confront his maker.”

‘Dreadfully Distinct‘ is due out November 10th, 2023 via Earache Distribution and is available for pre-order at the following links:
