Step into a soundscape that stretches the boundaries of progressive metal and post-rock with Ukrainian sensation Septa. Their new single "Emet, 'truth'" released on May 10th, 2023, plunges listeners into an immersive tale of war, destiny, and endless pursuit. This creative force offers an expressive progression from the band's last critically acclaimed art piece, "Bitten by the Serpent of the Kingdom of the Spirit." It told a captivating story of a time-travelling Golem sent from the future to prevent the horrors of two World Wars, trapped in an endless loop of failure. During the creation of Septa's fifth album, the real-life invasion of Ukraine by Russia took place, postponing the release and transforming the band's perspective. Led by vocalist Eugene Tymchyk, with Alexander Kostuchenko on guitars, Dima Ulyanov on bass, and Vlad Oleynik on drums, Septa has been redefining the genre with their unique blend of progressive metal and post-rock. "Emet, 'truth'" carries forward this tradition with its bold melodies, complex rhythms, and powerful themes. The new single was produced by Eugene Tymchyk, with the lyrics, story, and 3D modeled artwork by Sergey Gula. Roman Bondar's expertise behind the recording desk at Vault Audio and additional mixing and arrangements, along with choral vocals by Eugene Tymchyk, Lesha Bodnar, and Dmytro Bezručko, created a harmonious blend of elements that will leave listeners captivated. The single was mixed and mastered by Lewis Johns at The Ranch Production House, enhancing its progressive aesthetics. If you are a fan of bands like Katatonia, Opeth, Deftones, Mastodon, and Tool, prepare to experience a new wave of progressive metal and post-rock that's as profound as it is entrancing. |
