Swiss Instrumental Post-Progressive Metallers The Kompressor Experiment released and streamed entire new album 'Ebb & Flow"
As announced a few weeks ago and unveilling various audio and video excerpts from the effort with the single + official music video "Epigenesis" and then a live caption of the song "Riss-Würm", Swiss instrumental post-prog metallers The Kompressor Experiment finally released their brand new full-length album called 'Ebb & Flow' and available right now on CD, LP & Digital through Sunday Fog Records (Somnolent Priests...).
In addition to the official release-news, the band also shared the whole effort for FREE STREAMING on Bandcamp
Founded in 2014, The Kompressor Experiment defines itself as an instrumental Post-Metal band. In 2016, the band released its debut full-length album called DOUZE following by an EP Monolith three years later.
After rewriting a Post-Metal soundtrack for '2001: A Space Odyssey', the band performed a dozen cinema-concerts in Switzerland. At the same time, the band also played standard live shows (PALP Festival, Le Romandie) and released their second album “2001” in october 2019. During spring of 2020, a line-up change occurred.
The band recorded and released an EP named KMPXP for this milestone. It also announced the new artistic direction for the future of The Kompressor Experiment.
This new album, Ebb & Flow is recorded during spring of 2021 by Ludovic Volper (Méande). Darker and more frantic than ever, the 7 tracks present a view of the history of mankind, its uncertain beginnings (Endure The Sky, Riss-Würm), through its exponential development (Epigenesis), its infinite violent cycles (Tooth & Nail, Castle Bravo I and II) to end on a hope for resilience (Liminal Space). Musically, the album draws from post-metal and prog-metal, with influences such as The Ocean, Leprous or Russian Circles while integrating elements from electronic music and offering a greater presence to synthesizers.
Ebb & Flow was released on April 9th, 2022 (Digital, CD and Vinyl) through Sunday Fog.
