Brandon Bordman’s one-man progressive death metal project, The Grand Myth, announces the release of its highly anticipated full-length concept album Of Vultures and Dragons, now available worldwide. The album follows the single Through the River Styx, which dropped December 5, 2025, and sets the stage for an immersive, brutal, and narrative-driven journey through the Primitive War universe.
Known for blending jaw-dropping technical prowess with immersive storytelling, Bordman pushes the boundaries of metal with this ambitious release.
“Of Vultures and Dragons is the fully realized vision of what I wanted to do with The Devils of Vulture Valley. It is an all-encompassing and uncompromising concept album about the beasts of the Primitive War universe and the men who are forced to live and fight with them. I wanted to capture all the emotions I felt while reading through the novels and I think this collection of songs will work as a fantastic soundtrack to anyone who dares to step foot into the violent and unrelenting world of Primitive War,” Bordman explains.
The album features a stellar lineup of guest musicians and voice actors, including Nizar Ibrahim, PhD (Of Vultures and Dragons), Johnnie Wallace (Father Tyrant), David Ralyea (Through the River Styx), and more, adding depth and intensity to the record. Bordman handled all instrumentals himself, with mixing by Georg Cotta and Bordman, and mastering by Neil Schneider.
Fans can experience genre-defying progressive death metal coupled with a fully immersive narrative, making Of Vultures and Dragons not just an album, but an epic journey.
