Sykofant - Leaves (2026) (New Full EP)

Описание: Sykofant - Leaves (Full EP) Following the release of Red Sun in 2025, Oslo-based prog rock band Sykofant returns with Leaves, the second and concluding EP in their ambitious two-part project. Leaves was released on January 23, 2026, and completes the musical and thematic arc first introduced on Red Sun. While Red Sun explored harsh, sun-scorched landscapes and sharp textures, Leaves shifts the focus towards lush forests through reflection, movement, and transformation. The EP expands Sykofant’s sonic universe with a broader emotional palette, weaving together intricate rhythms, dynamic contrasts, and richly layered arrangements. Together, the two EPs form a cohesive narrative journey.

Leaves presents a more measured and open side of Sykofant, balancing clarity and restraint with a sense of forward motion. Spanning three tracks, the EP explores a cleaner, less abrasive sonic character while maintaining depth and momentum through evolving arrangements and layered instrumentation. Acoustic elements play a stronger role than before, but they sit alongside textured rhythms and dynamic shifts that keep the music engaged and purposeful. Leaves moves through cinematic passages and subtle genre crossovers, favoring atmosphere and narrative flow without losing its edge.

To mark the completion of this two-part release, both EPs — Red Sun and Leaves — will be released together as an album in physical formats. The combined release will be available on vinyl and CD. This physical edition presents the project as it was originally envisioned: a unified album experience, designed for immersive listening and collectors alike. Leaves stands as both a continuation and a resolution — a natural counterpart to Red Sun that brings the project full circle with more acoustic elements than previously experimented with. It highlights Sykofant’s commitment to long-form storytelling and detailed composition.
