Berlin/Kaiserslautern prog metallers CHAOSBAY are re-releasing their debut album, VASILISA (2015), as a fully remastered version. This time with a premium digipack design, including lyrics and credits. The album, with its digital release in 2015, made the band internationally known as a prog insider tip. It is based on the Russian fairy tale "The Beautiful Vasilisa" by Alexander Afanasyev and is a concept album that tells the story through eight chapters, both in terms of content and music.
Thundering staccato riffs, double bass storms, and epic melodies lead the album at a fast pace, reminiscent of bands like DREAM THEATER, OPETH, and PORCUPINE TREE. Themes are repeatedly taken up, processed, and combined almost symphonically into a large, cohesive work that sounds cohesive, entertaining, and exciting. Singer and main songwriter Jan Listing screams, growls, and sings playfully across several octaves, from gentle to aggressive. Virtuoso instrumental passages alternate with potential hit hooks and atmospheric surfaces. Produced and mixed by Daniel Weber (bassist with THE INTERSPHERE), the album shines with a powerful, modern, yet organic sound.
VASILISA takes CHAOSBAY into another league and gives a taste of the highly acclaimed follow-up album ASYLUM (2020).
