progressive and alternative rock music such as Muse and Porcupine Tree.
KYROS (known as Synaesthesia 2012-2015) formed in 2012 in London, England and consists of Shelby Warne on lead vocals and keyboards, Joey Frevola and Sam Higgins on guitar, Peter Episcopo on bass guitar and Robin Johnson on drums. The five piece came together after Shelby was in need of completing the band line up to transition from a solo studio project to a fully fledged performing and writing group.
Although only having existed for a few years, the group has already released a critically acclaimed debut album and a successful limited edition EP. The debut album featured
artwork designed by Freyja Dean, the daughter of legendary album cover artist Roger Dean. Songs from these two releases have received airplay on various radio stations including Team Rock Radio. On top of this, KYROS has performed a number of impressive shows ranging from festival dates in UK, Germany and USA to supporting high profile bands such as Marillion and Anathema. In 2015, the band performed sixteen dates across Europe supporting Spock’s Beard, all with hugely receptive crowds and positive reactions.
KYROS has also gained positive reactions from within the press. They received top spot in the ‘Tip for 2014’ and runner up in the ‘Tip for 2016’ awards from Prog Magazine as well as a nomination for the ‘Limelight’ category within the Progressive Music Awards. Their debut album received critical acclaim from all over the spectrum. The band has attracted interviews and article write-ups from respected journalists such as Malcolm Dome and Rich Wilson. Both gave positive words regarding the debut album and their thoughts on the future and direction of the band. Wilson described the album as being “an exceptional debut from a band who will only improve”.
In Autumn 2016, KYROS will be independently releasing a maxi single entitled ‘Cloudburst’, which is to be shortly followed by a double-album called ‘Vox Humana’. This album will mark the band’s fourth overall release as well as being the band’s second official album release.

Two Frames of Panic
Kyros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let the fires ignite, the screams cry bright
And the supple sense of guilt
Over melodramatics, over-erratics
From this inside out,
A pain for the outside, caught in the inside
Now tear down the walls
Now feel your own demise, despite
A sense of how it feels to be alive
You're the beast I see, that keeps me within my own
A cerebral break, serotonin leaks oh yeah
You're the fight or flight that brings me to my knees
Derealised, a nightmare dream
Now again I fall down
And another takes my void to fill
I'm taken hostage to mind's will
Here in celexa dreams,
Your heart's on fire, an untimed drum
You feel the sweat burn down
Like a demon's escape, a traitor's plan
To feel your own desire to fight
The sense of how it feels to die
You're the beast I see, that keeps me within my own
Agonising truths I bury for none to see
Depersonalised, a nightmare dream
Here it stings, I burn down
The sun, the sounds outside - intrude
Like paining feels of fright
Thoughts climb whilst still
Taken hostage to mind's will
Taken hostage no more saving
Rescue me with pills and stern words
Now I rise up
I'll carry myself out to light
And live within my own
Now I stand still
I'm taken hostage to mind's will
Oh now you've fallen hostage to the stuff
And now you've taken out upon your mind
At least you'll live another day and smile
You're neutralised in celexa dreams.
The song "Two Frames of Panic" by Kyros depicts the struggle of an individual who is caught in the clutches of their own mind. The song starts with the singer talking about their dreams while taking Celexa, a medication used to treat depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. The lyrics describe how the fires and screams burn bright within the dreams, causing a sense of guilt and melodramatics. The feeling of being caught in the inside while experiencing pain from the outside is also highlighted.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about tearing down the walls and seeing their demons, which have now neutralized them. They feel their own demise despite the sense of being alive, and the fight or flight feeling is bringing them to their knees. The singer talks about how they are the beast that keeps themselves within, experiencing cerebral breaks and serotonin leaks – a reference to the common side effects of the drugs they are taking. They feel depersonalized, as if living a nightmare dream.
As the song continues, the singer expresses their desire to fight and feel alive, but they remain trapped in their mind. They describe feeling taken hostage and call for rescue using pills and stern words. The song ends on a hopeful note, as the singer decides to rise up and carry themselves out of the darkness and into the light.
Overall, "Two Frames of Panic" is a dark but ultimately uplifting song that tackles the difficult subject of mental health and the struggles that come with it.
