Progressive Metal
United States
EPHEMERAL SUN is a progressive-metal band formed in Virginia, United States, in 2002.
The band was originally formed by members of extinct band RAIN FELL WITHIN. Their goal was to create more adventurous, free music, exploring new territories, drawing on their varied influences that range from prog-rock and metal to electronica and world music, from classical to jazz and fusion.
They released their first demo, "Prototype 19.5", in 2003, which was well received. Soon thereafter, the band set out to record their first full-length.
2004 saw the release of "Broken Door.", the band's first studio album. An almost entirely instrumental album (some vocals are heard here and there, but mostly for atmosphere and ambience), and a very long one (70+ minutes), the record contains references to the band's past, but mostly is about the future, with a unique brand of rock/metal that strecthes forward, with room for exploration, musicianship and melody.
The band's line-up consists of Brian O'Neill in guitars, Tim Miller behind the drums, Charles Gore in the bass and John Battema playing keyboards. Laurie Ann Haus provided the scarce vocals in "Broken Door".
EPHEMERAL SUN can best be described as a progressive rockl band that combines metal atmospheric, fusion, and electronica elements into a quite original, exciting brand of new music.
