Finnish melancholic metal act Relicon is thrilled to announce their signing with WormHoleDeath Records for the release of their highly anticipated EP, ‘Consequences Of Disbelief’. This signing marks a significant milestone for the band, solidifying their dedication and paving the way for a promising musical journey ahead.

Relicon is the brainchild of Antti-Pekka Meronen, who established the project in 1998 as a solo venture. Shouldering all musical responsibilities, Antti-Pekka poured his creative energy into writing and performing all the instruments on the band's early releases. His unwavering dedication is evident in the two well-received demos released in 2002 and 2003, showcasing the raw talent that would define Relicon's sound.

The year 2005 marked a turning point for Relicon, expanding into a full-fledged 5-piece band. This new chapter saw the release of their third demo, further enriching their musical tapestry. The band's exploration continued with the addition of a keyboardist, solidifying their live presence with a couple of captivating performances. This expanded lineup yielded a fourth demo in 2008, showcasing the band's potential at its peak. However, fate had other plans, and Relicon disbanded shortly after the release.

Despite the disbandment, Antti-Pekka's passion for Relicon remained unyielding. He embarked on a new creative phase, releasing songs online. While collaborating with other artists, Antti-Pekka remained the driving force behind the music. The period between 2012 and 2017 saw the band enter a hiatus, with new recordings taking place but remaining unreleased.

2024 marks a triumphant return for Relicon. The band's unwavering dedication has been rewarded with a signing to WormHoleDeath Records. Their highly anticipated EP, ‘Consequences Of Disbelief’, is poised to ignite the metal scene with its melancholic soundscapes.
