New album, “The Death And Life Of The Great Lakes”, out on September 12th!
Blending elements of prog metal, math rock, post rock , and beyond, Lucius Fox delivers an intense, intricate, and deeply melodic sonic journey for fans of Russian Circles, And So I Watch You From Afar , and Animals as Leaders .
The Death and Life of the Great Lakes is a 45-minute instrumental exploration of place, grief, and resilience , built around a powerful five-song suite that sonically interprets each of the Great Lakes. The suite is framed by two bookending compositions that reflect on the passing of guitarist/synthesist Jeremy Cronk’s mother in the summer of 2024, giving the album a deeply personal emotional weight.
“This album is a dynamic, melodic, abrasive, and massive piece of music,” shares Cronk. “It functions best when digested in its entirety. We aimed to capture the intensity and feel of our live performances — and are confident we achieved just that.”
Formed in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Lucius Fox is the collaborative vision of Jeremy Cronk (guitar/synths) and Paul Drake Jr. (drums) . Despite being just a duo, they summon a colossal wall of sound through looping, dual instrumentation, complex arrangements , and raw energy. Their sound traverses a wide spectrum — from Americana to black metal — creating an experience that is both technically virtuosic and emotionally stirring.
