Lyrically, the band was inspired by a world where everything is blocked out, leaving humanity to face its challenges head-on.

While a strong concept, it’s their technical prowess that’s really wowed us. Gripping from the get-go, LA CRUCIFIXION DU SOLEIL kicks off with complex, layered instrumentals, a testament to the cohesive performance of Alex Tsolakis (guitar), Tarsh Piccioni (drums) and Michael Naish (bass).  New Million has immediately made it clear that they’re not here to hide in the shadows or coast by with average offerings.

A bare-knuckle brawl between modern metal and hard rock, with a couple of punches thrown in from the synthwave, pop and electronic worlds.

They’ve stepped right into the spotlight with this track—a bare-knuckle brawl between modern metal and hard rock, with a couple of punches thrown in from the synthwave, pop and electronic worlds. We’ve also got to shout out vocalist Jack Campbell, who took on the mammoth task of matching the track’s soundscape and succeeded. His atmospheric, driven approach has elevated LA CRUCIFIXION DU SOLEIL, making it sound that extra bit massive. If LA CRUCIFIXION DU SOLEIL is anything to go by, New Million will be sticking around for a very long time. If you’re a fan of Dream Theater, Tool or Periphery and you’re still reading this, go give it a spin now.
