Info zu A Memory And What Came After

Das von den Multiinstrumentalisten Nicolò und Federico Vese gegründete italienische Progressive-Metal-Duo Asymmetric Universe hat sich mit seinem Sound, der die aggressive Intensität des Metal mit der Harmoniefülle und dem Improvisationsgeist des Jazz-Fusion verbindet, einen festen Platz in der modernen Instrumentalszene erspielt. Entstanden aus der gemeinsamen Leidenschaft für Komposition und Klangforschung während ihrer intensiven Studienzeit vor fast 10 Jahren, veröffentlicht die Band nun ihr Debütalbum „A Memory And What Came After“ bei InsideOutMusic.

Das kommende Album, an dem die Band seit Ende 2023 arbeitet, spiegelt eine verfeinerte Vision und tiefere Reife sowie einen kohärenteren und ausdrucksstärkeren Sound wider. Das Album wird auch durch Gastauftritte bereichert, darunter Soli von Richard Henshall (Haken) und Jared Yee (Sungazer). "Dass Richard Henshall bereit war, ein Solo für uns zu spielen, war eine große Ehre! Wir sind seit ihrem ersten Album Fans von Haken. Die Art und Weise, wie er sein Gastsolo komponiert hat, war unglaublich", sagt Nicolò. „Jared hat uns mit einem melodischen Saxophon-Solo überrascht, das perfekt in das Stück passte und den Räumen Bedeutung verlieh“.

Mit einem ambitionierten neuen Album, wachsender internationaler Präsenz und einer kompromisslosen kreativen Vision verschieben Asymmetric Universe weiterhin die Grenzen dessen, was instrumentale progressive Musik sein kann - technisch anspruchsvoll, emotional mitreißend und völlig eigenständig.

Italian progressive metal duo Asymmetric Universe present their debut album ‘A Memory And What Came After’. Seamlessly blending the aggressive intensity of metal with the rich harmonies and improvisational spirit of jazz fusion.

Asymmetric Universe
Formed in 2018, with the goal of pushing the limit of modern prog and fusing disparate genres, they combine metal with jazz & ambient music, alongside chamber orchestration. In 2023, the band released their second EP ‘The Sun Would Disappear As I Imagined All The Stars’, which was mixed by Forrester Savell and mastered by Ermin Hamidovic. They also embarked on their first European tour as support to Australian progressive metallers Ne Obliviscaris, as well as opening for Caligula’s Horse in Italy.

Both brothers are mostly self-taught musicians, who have been heavily involved in composition and orchestration, as well as music production.

Federico has composed music for as wide ranging places as Radio Montecarlo (one of the biggest Italian radio stations), as well as one of the largest Italian amusement park Mirabilandia. He is a metal/rock producer and this background influences his work as a composer in the video game industry. He is also a professional music and guitar teacher with online students from different parts of the world.

Nicolò has composed pieces for various orchestral organisations (two pieces were performed in the latest symphonic season of Orchestra Sinfonica of Sanremo and one performed at Rome Jazz Festival in 2021 with a big band), worked as a composer in many Musicals and he is currently working in the video game soundtrack industry (also as a sound designer), ranging from indie games to bigger productions. He also professionally teaches composition, orchestration and adaptive music techniques for video games.
