Based in Atlanta, Georgia and founded in 2001, HALCYON WAY is the ultimate example of blue-collar work ethic, self-reliant bootstrapping, and hard work & perseverance in spite of nearly insurmountable odds. The band has released three albums worldwide through Nightmare Records/Sony RED, and performed in a dozen countries and counting. HALCYON WAY‘s sound cannot be neatly slotted into any sub-category of metal; but it can be described as heavy, catchy, technical, and above all, focused on mature songcraft. Currently the band is working on their 5th album. Watch the official video “Web Of Lies” here:
ALPHA OMEGA Management is excited to announce the signing of the U.S. hard rock metallers HALCYON WAY to its roster!

HALCYON WAY comments: “HW are super stoked to be working with Tim and Alex at ALPHA OMEGA and the rest of the crew, and believe that this new partnership will help HW climb up to the next level. We’re hard at work writing the follow up to our 2014 album Conquer, and hope to be in the studio by the end of the summer. We have a few super cool tours in early stages of negotiations, and we hope to make some big announcements on that front soon.”
ALPHA OMEGA Management adds: “We’re so thrilled to welcome these hard working guys in HALCYON WAY to our Family! Their attitude on stage talks a clear language; these guys are here to stay and conquer new frontiers! Stay tuned for next announcements!”
Furthermore HALCYON WAY announce that they have parted ways with the band’s long-time drummer Ernie Topran, and announce the replacement for upcoming dates:
“We are sad to say that we have amicably parted ways with our longtime friend and drummer Ernie Topran, who has been with us for nearly a decade behind the drums. He’s a great player and friend of us, there was no drama at all, and we wish him the absolute best in the next chapter of his musical career. He’s been a huge part of the HW family for a long time, and his unique drumming style helped take our material to the next level.
Taking over behind the throne for all of our upcoming dates is Aaron Baumoel, who is a veteran of the Atlanta metal scene. He’s a killer drummer and although we are sad to see Ernie go, we’re firing on all cylinders with Aaron rocking the kit.”
Ernie’s statement on leaving:
“I am announcing my departure from Halcyon Way. The band has been a great part of my life for the past 9 years but I feel it’s time to move on musically. The HW guys are my bros and I truly wish them all well. I had a great time on tour with Queensrÿche this Jan/ Feb and it was great to see my friends and fans across the USA one last time with HW and I hope to see you all again soon in the near future. Until then, you can check out my website for tour dates and info on other projects and bands I’m working with. http://www.ernietopran.com. Thanks everyone for your years of support and I’ll see you in one form or another!”
