Canadian progressive metal outfit The Aphelion from are set to release their concept album, Nascence, this Friday (9th). The first of two twin albums, features eight tracks blending sci-fi, prog, and personal experiences. Nascence and its upcoming counterpart Senescence, explore philosophy and the human condition, appealing to fans of Devin Townsend, Haken, and Leprous. Today (8th), the group has teamed up with Metal Insider for an early album stream.
The band comments:
“The objective with “Nascence” and “Senescence” was to create a cohesive multi-album spanning story while still having each album contain its own unique musical aesthetics and complete listening experience. In a way, Nascence musically has always been the calm before the storm, and while the songs are almost always rooted in metal, the album grows from a more classical-influenced, beautiful prog-rock flavoured sound to a fast, angry, teeth gnashing finale.”
