“The Journey” (Prologue), a non-album track from Canadian melodic metallers, Borealis, is streaming below.

Says the band: “Our new album Purgatory was released a half year ago. We thank you so much for its great reception and the amazing feedback. There's one track from the Purgatory sessions that we didn't release yet though. We and our label AFM Records have now decided to upload the song to YouTube, for you to enjoy.”

Earlier this week, Borealis checked in with the following news:

“Hey folks! Purgatory was released earlier this year and to keep things rolling we went back to the studio to record some new music. Today we present to you a cover of "No Easy Way Out", originally performed by Robert Tepper - and well known from being the soundtrack of the movie Rocky IV!”

Purgatory was released on June 19th in Europe, and on July 21st in North America via AFM Records. After the self-released World Of Silence (2008) and 2011’s Fall From Grace (Lion Music/Hydrant Music), with Purgatory the band reaches a whole new level. Their value not only comes from the tasteful instrumentations, but also from Matt Marinelli’s expressive voice which elegantly guides through the twelve songs on Purgatory. Borealis create atmospheric depth like few others are able to. Their partly quite modern guitar riffs merge with classic power metal, progressive elements and a symphonic touch, to build a heavy and intense, yet melodic sound which fans of Evergrey, Kamelot and Nocturnal Rites will embrace to the fullest.
