Grunge doom unit OREYEON premiere new video "Dead Puppet Eyes"!

Northern Italy's grungy stoner rockers OREYEON team up with Echoes & Dust to present their dark and doomy video for "Dead Puppet Eyes", ahead of their new album release this Friday 13th February on Heavy Psych Sounds Records. 

About this new song, Oreyeon comments: “Dead Puppet Eyes” drags the listener into a slow, surreal descent through emptiness and decay. Built on suffocating tension and bleak atmospheres, the song evokes a world where life has become mechanical — a theatre of dead marionettes staring with hollow eyes. Through its repetition and dissonance, it explores the absurdity of existence and the collapse of meaning, transforming the mundane into the grotesque. “Dead Puppets Eyes” stands as one of the album’s most haunting pieces, a reflection on numbness, loss, and the quiet horror of simply existing."

Their fourth full-length “The Grotesque Within” marks a raw and uncompromising chapter in Oreyeon's sound, while remaining chock-full of their trademark fuzzed-out riffage and melodic, hook-laden vocals. Weaving a dense narrative, “The Grotesque Within” is inspired by the unsettling atmosphere found in the works of horror author Thomas Ligotti, where reality constantly threatens to unravel and horror seeps into the everyday. "Each track is a confrontation with the bizarre, the dissonant, and the disturbingly familiar. This is not just an album. It’s a descent into the uncanny that already surrounds us," the band explains.

Formed in 2014 in northern Italy, Oreyeon emerged from the convergence of musicians who previously played in bands such as Woodwall, Mexican Mud and Army of Angry Youth. From the outset, the quartet showed an affinity for heavy riff-based rock, drawing on 70s hard rock foundations (notably the early days of Black Sabbath) and combining them with stoner, doom and more progressive influences.

Their debut album "Builders of Cosmos" arrived in 2016, establishing their presence in the heavy rock/stoner scene with monolithic guitars, deep bass, and melodic vocals. Heavy Psych Sounds Records Over time, Oreyeon evolved: their second album "Ode to Oblivion" (2019) marked a shift toward a more elaborate, melodic approach, still heavy, but with increased vocal harmonies and richer textures. In June 2022, they released "Equations for the Useless", their third studio album via Heavy Psych Sounds Records. The record was captured mostly live and presents a more psychedelic and progressive side while retaining the heavy riff-driven core of their sound.

In 2023, the band contributed to the split EP "Doom Sessions Vol.8" alongside Tuscany’s doom outfit Lord Elephant. Among their contributions was a cover of Slo Burn’s “Wheel Fall”, signalling Oreyeon’s willingness to pay homage to underground heavy rock lineage while injecting their own grungy/stoner touch. As of 2025, Oreyeon continue to refine their sound, heavy but evolving, carving a space in the modern heavy/stoner/psych rock spectrum. Their trajectory shows both reverence for past heavy rock traditions and a deliberate push into more textured, complex songwriting.
