CRYSTAL HORIZON - S/T
EP
MARCH 15th
Experimental, rising prog rockers Crystal Horizon is set to release their self-titled debut EP on March 15th!
Heavily influenced by fellow Norwegian prog heroes Leprous as well as legendary bands like Porcupine Tree and Radiohead in combination with their atmospheric choruses, melodic rhythm sections and hard-hitting drums,
Crystal Horizon truly explores the limitless potential found in modern melodic prog rock with their 5 track debut EP!
The EP is mixed by the legendary producer and engineer Chris Edrich known for his work with bands like Devin Townsend, Leprous, The Ocean, TesseracT and Klone.
Crystal Horizon about the EP:
“The theme of the EP mostly deals with the periods in life where it feels like time almost stands still, both in your personal life and because of the destructive events happening around the world. The feeling of wasting your dreams and life itself, without being able to do anything about it is very present in some of the songs. There are also tracks where the lyrics are highly open to interpretation from the listener.
In a time where progressive music is on the rise and there are so many options available to new listeners, we like to push boundaries both rhythmically and harmonically, and we’re not caging ourselves to only one genre. Because of this some of the tracks turned out both quite progressive and at the same time very atmospheric and melodic.
We are very proud to have been able to collaborate with Chris Edrich on this EP, and these songs would not have turned out this great without Chris's input throughout the process!”
FFO: Leprous, Tesseract, Sleep Token, Nothing But Thieves, Porcupine Tree
