Polish progressive metal quintet, Wind Down, have unleashed the official music video for “A New World,” a powerful and immersive track from their new album, The Burning Past, out via Wormholedeath.
Lost between the past and the unknown, “A New World” is a haunting progressive rock journey through change, memory, and the pursuit of something beyond reach. Gripping melodies, evocative lyrics, and immersive soundscapes guide you through a tale of leaving everything behind – only to realize that some things never fade.
Formed in 2021 by Damian “Blady” Jurek and Wojciech “Świerszcz” Wojtyczek, founding members of Thetragon, Wind Down quickly grew into a formidable unit with the additions of Kuba Czubik, Władysław Zawojski, and Marcin Borula. The band’s journey began with the release of their debut EP, Uśpieni Ludzie (Euthanised People), which garnered widespread praise, thanks to its title track and accompanying music video.
Building on the momentum, Wind Down toured extensively, sharing stages with international metal heavyweights like Necronomicon (Germany), Stonecast (France), and 3000AD (New Zealand), alongside prominent Polish acts such as Iscariota, Styxx, and Subterfuge.
In 2023, the lineup evolved, bringing in Franciszek Trybus and Tomasz Wiśniewski (formerly of Thetragon and Kruk) to solidify their sound. By April 2024, the band began recording their debut full-length album at Hertz Studio, with the final touches—mixing and mastering—handled by Ergosphere Studios.
Rooted in themes of Native American culture and shamanic rituals, The Burning Past is more than just an album—it’s a sonic odyssey where technical prowess meets emotional depth. Wind Down’s signature progressive groove metal sound blends intricate harmonies, dynamic rhythms, and crushing heaviness, delivering an experience that lingers long after the last note fades.
