Composed by mastermind Carl Kernie and featuring breathtaking performances by 10 renowned musicians from around the world, âEpochs Changingâ unleashes a broad variety of musical styles from symphonic and folk to prog rock and metal.
CHASING ZENITHS is a combination of progressive and symphonic music that experiments with elements of numerous genres (folk, synth, metal) and non-traditional instruments. Each song tells a story and features performances by world-renowned guest musicians.
Carl Kernie is absolutely excited by âsongs that tell stories and give people something to relate to. Whether thatâs hope or despair, music creates empathy and can unite us in mutual response to how we feel. Music brings people together because it inspires us like nothing else. I think my music has potential to reshape the way people think about the lines between genres and the conventions to which music should supposedly adhere.â

About
CHASING ZENITHS is the progressive and symphonic rock brainchild of songwriter, composer, and guitarist Carl Kernie. While living upon such exotic shores as Washington, Colorado, Kansas, Switzerland, and Norway, Carl developed a sincere love of composing music with all the wondrous sounds of modern and traditional instruments and voices.
An avid concert-goer, Carl soon made the acquaintance of fantastically talented musicians, many of whom he now calls friends and several of whom he invited to participate on his debut album Epochs Changing. Rooted deeply in personal reflection and experiences, âEpochs Changingâ is the result of years of grit and determination to create unique soundscapes that will hopefully inspire others to pursue what is most important to them.
