Asymmetric Universe is an instrumental project founded in 2018 by the Italian brothers guitarist Federico Vese and bassist Nicolò Vese, with a goal of pushing the limits of modern prog, blending coherently different genres. Teaming up with drummer Gabriele Bullita and a collection of guest players, they create complex yet accessible music ranging from modern prog metal to fusion, from avant-garde jazz to emotional ambient, along with chamber orchestration. Their hard work is on full display with the upcoming EP “The Sun Would Disappear As I Imagined All The Stars”, which they explain in detail:

“The meaning of the EP title is a metaphor for losing self-awareness while getting distracted by external world events that lead us to wish to be something we are not. The first song, so the first step “Extrospection”, is about the clash between the individual and the outer world. The second step, “As Within, So Without”, it’s about the internalization of the experience of the outer world, through acceptance and introspection. The third step “Kaleidoscope” tells of the journey, the individual is now excited about the external world and wants to actively interact with it joyfully. The last step “(re): emerge” is the synthesis of what we really are within and how we manifest in the outer world. We can now truly feel experiences as they really relate to our true self, without judgments and opinions of the mind and of the external world.”

Asymmetric Universe hopes that this new release will be appreciated by both metal and fusion fans. They intend for the EP to be seen as an emotional journey through music trying not to fall into any genre-related clichés.

“The Sun Would Disappear As I Imagined All The Stars” features a live-recorded string quartet and a wind quartet. It has been mixed by Forrester Savell and mastered by Ermin Hamidovic. Following the release date, the band will be touring the EU and UK as the opening act for Ne Obliviscaris and Persefone.

Experimental, elegant, and emotional this album is recommended for fans of Animals As Leaders, Plini, and Owane.
