Artist News: Melodic Revolution Records Is Proud To Announce The Signing Of Canadian Prog Met

Posted on Saturday, November 17 @ 00:00:00 UTC by nightowl

Formed out of the suburbs of Montreal with a raging passion to abolish formulaic and simplified popular music of all genres, Transcend spent over five years on defining their sound and writing skills before finally completing their first album The Mind. The musical goals could not have been achieved without an extremely proficient line-up of musicians: Costa Damoulianos - Guitar and Vocals, Alexi Lagogianis - Keyboards, Nico Damoulianos -Bass and Jake Shamash - Drums. How four such talented individuals ended up in the same town and in the same band remains a fated mystery, though it should be clear; these guys will rip up the stage live without hesitation, and with as much precision as in the studio.

Transcend brings a whole new musical world to the table in the epic masterpiece: The Mind. Ranging from the heaviest riffs and odd-time extended instrumental sections to soft male-female vocal duets and Greek Bouzouki parts. Transcend will take the listener on an inspiring journey. Their influences remain clear and often intentionally obvious to any fans of Progressive Metal while retaining the originality which defines Transcend.

Get ready to be taken on one of the most exciting musical adventures of the year. The Mind starts in the simple and immature reality of a child, moving through lessons of life and love, and finally an epic 45 minute 8 part track to complete the journey as a free and open mind. Welcome to the world of Transcend!
