Jon is one of the two founding members of Halcyon Way, and is responsible for most of the songwriting and production. Both the EP and A Manifesto For Domination were recorded in his studio, Edge Of Forever Productions. He's been playing the guitar for over 15 years and cut his teeth in the popular Atlanta death metal band Final Judgement back in the early 1990s. Jon exclusively uses Brian Moore Custom Guitars, Madison Amplifiers, the Fractal Audio Axe-FX, Sfarzo Strings, Sennheiser Wireless, and a Digital Music Corporation MIDI switching system.

Ernie is the man with the rhythm - his influences range from RAGE, Angra, Symphony X, and Pain Of Salvation to Soundgarden, Dave Weckl and Antonio Vivaldi. As a filmmaker, Ernie has created the visuals seen on tour via video screens and upcoming multimedia installations. He enjoys long walks on the beach, wind flowing through his hair and plays Pearl Drums and Zildjian Cymbals.

Zane is no stranger to the metal scene - he spent the six years prior to joining Halcyon Way playing bass and singing for the Atlanta goth metal band Abwhore, and after that band dissolved, Zane took on the touring vocalist duties for power metal legends Cauldron Born and appeared at the Powermad & Classic Metal fests. Zane brings not only his guitar abilities to the stage but his vocal abilities as well, that are sure to blow away anyone who doubts the force of this progressive metal juggernaut.
Zane exclusively uses Halo Guitars, Bugera amplification, Sfarzo guitar strings, and a Sennheiser wireless that Jon lets him use.

Halcyon Way is Atlanta's premier heavy metal band. Known for their explosive live shows, instantly catchy melodies, precise vocal harmonies, incendiary guitar work, intricate yet pounding drums, and live props and showmanship hearkening back to the glory days of arena rock, they dominate the local live scene. Aurally combining the heaviness of bands like Slayer, the technical prowess of Dream Theater, and with vocal melodies reminding you of Ronnie James Dio’s best work, you will be pummeled with the punishing riffs while being lovingly caressed by the unforgettable hooks. Halcyon Way have received radio play on Atlanta’s FM 99.7, 91.1, 96.1, 1640AM, XM Radio, Sirius Radio, Darktech Radio, Maximum Threshold, Braingell Radio, Powermaker, Zentient Metalcast, and many other online radio stations. They have also shared the stage with heavyweight acts such as Helloween, Strapping Young Lad, Symphony X, Kamelot, Doro Pesch, Marc Rizzo of Soulfly, Sanctity, Vicious Rumors, Seven Witches, Samael, Cathedral, Brand New Sin, To/Die/For, Virgin Black, Prototype, Echoes Of Eternity, Sacred Dawn, Krucible, Cellador, Freak Kitchen, A Lower Deep, Scum Of The Earth, Speed X, Bobaflex, Society 1, Odin's Court, Imagika, Aska, Mindwarp Chamber, Six Minute Century, Circle II Circle, Enertia, and Magistral. In addition, Halcyon Way were the first Atlanta band to be featured at the legendary Prog Power festival in 2004, having been invited to kick off the festivities at the Prog Power Showcase, and were also a last minute addition to the Prog Power VIII Showcase in 2007. Halcyon Way also performed twice at the Rocklahoma 2008 festival alongside bands such as Queensryche, Tesla, Ace Frehley, and many others.
After releasing a string of EPs – Blind Eyes To The Sky & Deliver The Suffering - the band just released its debut full length album, entitled A Manifesto For Domination. Produced by guitarist Jon Bodan with assistance from James Murphy (formerly of the bands Testament, Death, Obituary, and Disincarnate, and producer of The Hinderers by Roadrunner artists Daath), mixed by Lasse Lammert (Alestorm, Incubator), and mastered by James Murphy, the record was released worldwide on 11/25/2008 via Nightmare Records.
Halcyon Way are currently recording the follow-up release to "A Manifesto For Domination", tentatively due for release in Spring 2010 via Nightmare Records. The album will be produced by Lasse Lammert and Jon Bodan. Drums were tracked at Open Sky Studios with Mike Froedge (doubleDrive, Bloodsimple). In addition, Pamela Moore of Queensryche fame will be making a guest appearance on the album. It also will mark Steve Braun's first recordings with Halcyon Way.
