Speaking of the new track, the band states, ”Battered and broken, the remnants of humanity flee a dying Earth. As they sail through the stellar void in search of a new home, will they survive the ordeal, or fall prey to their darker instincts?”
Check out the new track below:
The initial concept for the project was to be a solo endeavour by guitarist, Mo Sheerin, who set out to find a drummer, which led her to cross paths with Damian Dziennik. Damian, being well established, having served drum duties with many bands in Ireland, shines through with a stunning percussive threshold, which can be compared with Portnoy, Danny Carey, and Danny Judd.
Mo then recruited the legend himself, Terry McHugh as bassist for the album. Terry being described by many as the “Jaco Pastorius of Northern Ireland“, brings an eclectic, progressive, and simply outrageous level of talent, and melodic infrastructure to Nebularis as a whole.
As the sounds grew larger, Damian, and Mo realised set their eyes, and ears on obtaining a vocalist that fit the bill.
Enter – Hytham Martin.
Former founding member of Eyesclosed, and former member of Lluther, Hythams range and phenomenal balance with clean to “Heavy Devy-like” vocals made heads turns in the studio. This was the singer they had been looking for, as well as having a fabulous stage presence, and a talent for writing harmonious vocal melodies.
And so. The Nebularis team was built.
The next few months they set out on working on an album together. Slowly but surely realising a full band was inevitably the way to go. Completing song after song. With the addition of synthesizers, choirs, and orchestral elements, the Astral and progressive broth has been a-brewing non stop.
With three singles to be released this year, as well as a full length album (mixed and mastered by Ben Wanders at Wanderland Studios), Nebularis will aim to bring a fresh element to eyes, and ears.
Nebularis release their debut single, “Catacylsm” today, on Spotify [click here] and all established platforms.
