Canadian progressive metal band Maitreya are set to release their third EP, Auxesis, tomorrow (11th). The EP showcases the band’s growth, featuring complex rhythms and a blend of heavy and melodic elements. Alongside the release, Maitreya has debuted a music video for the single “Vestigial Memories,” which explores the challenge of navigating memories and finding peace within them.
Formed in 2016, Maitreya has become known for its cathartic sound and genre-bending compositions. The band will host an EP release show in Oshawa, ON, on October 17th and support Felix Martin in Toronto on November 19th. The EP and video are streaming now on Metal Insider.
The band comments on the EP:
“The record is rich with a depth of sonic layers, so the listener can yield new discoveries after multiple listens. The complexity of the music is subtle, making it accessible to general audiences but also intriguing to the advanced, musically inclined demographics. There’s a strong poetic focus to create an artistic work ripe with emotional and philosophical commentaries on the human condition.”
