Canadian prog quartet Heaven’s Cry issued the first taste of their forthcoming record Outcast this week with the release of a lyric video for their new single “The Human Factor”. Vocalist Sylvain Auclair
“When I wrote the basic structure of ‘The Human Factor’, I was inspired by the song ‘Peacemaker Die’ by the band Extreme. They’d inserted Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have A Dream’ speech in the instrumental part of their song. It made me connect to history and realize how powerful and hopeful that speech was. Noam’s 1970 lecture was a perfect fit for ‘The Human Factor’.”
Outcast is set to drop on June 3rd through Prosthetic Records. Pre-orders are available now through the label’s webstore, iTunes, Amazon, and Bandcamp.
