“Sails Beyond” is a maritime metal odyssey charting the rise, reach, and repercussions of humanity’s oceanic explorations — from Polynesian wayfinders and Portuguese navigators to the frozen gambits of Franklin and Bering, and the defiant echoes of modern explorers like Cousteau and Heyerdahl.

Spanning fourteen sprawling tracks, the album sails across five centuries of exploration, discovery, and devastation. Each song immerses listeners in a different moment in history — the fire-lit shores of Kealakekua, the glassy dread of the Northwest Passage, the storm-ravaged hopes of Magellan, the aching paradise of Tahiti, the silent dreams of a lost Hawai‘i.

With progressive black metal foundations, Polynesian rhythms, and cinematic ambient interludes, Sails Beyond fuses tribal log drums, bowed bass, bamboo flutes, and layered chants into a sonic vessel. The result is both epic and intimate — a reverent retelling of mankind’s thirst for the edge of the map and the price paid in blood, sovereignty, and myth.
