CD/DVD Releases: Quantum Sphere Debut Album Streaming On StereoKiller

Posted on Sunday, April 22 @ 12:00:00 UTC by nightowl

The debut self-produced, self-funded and self-released album of the UK's sci-fi prog fusion power trio Quantum Sphere called The Space Adventures Of Pyjama Boy is streaming now over the StereoKiller.com in its entirety at this location.

Writing about the album, the ultimate progressive rock source ProgArchives says:

"Quantum Sphere have a more promising sound than most of the prog-metal-fusion bands I have heard coming out in recent years, and even as they are now, the band exude excellence with this full-length debut. With that being said, The Space Adventures Of Pyjama Boy leaves some room to grow. It would be interesting to see the band flesh out their sci-fi leanings a little more, and perhaps accentuate some of the atmospheric trends they bring forth in the music. As it stands, Quantum Sphere is residing in an overcrowded style of technically proficient soundalikes, but if anything, it will be their quirk and willingness not to take things completely seriously that will see them through.

The band came to be shortly after Mark Smith (The Drummer) spoke of his will to put together a Planet X/Meshuggah style prog band to Greg Knox (The Bassist). Greg immediately thought of guitarist, Joe Pearson (The Guitarist), a friend and member of 2 previous bands that Greg had been in, who had not only shared these influences but had the talent to create something original with them.

Shortly after a phone call and a few emails, the trio started writing. The songs "Perplexia" and "The Space Adventures Of Pyjama Boy" were written within the space of a few months. Not even 2 years after their first practice sessions, the band had a 9 track album recorded, played shows and had begun planning their Album Launch Party for 2012: a testament to their hard work and dedication.

Described as "Sci-fi progressive-metal fusion," Quantum Sphere's stye combines groovy rhythms and riffs, progressive leads and synths with soundscape orchestrations and outbursts of massive metal moments. All of which are inspired by science, space, extreme metal and computer game music. The songs are complimented with 9 individually crafted visual pieces to add an extra dimension to their live shows.

Quantum Sphere are currently working on new material. They are also planning more gigs and are looking to play festivals around the UK and Europe.
