Michigan prog metal duo THE OMEGA EXPERIMENT will release their self-titled full-length debut on April 9th (North America) via Listenable Records.
Like their fellow modern prog artists, THE OMEGA EXPERIMENT create a massive sound with home equipment and have no fear of experimentation and rule breaking. The guitars are big and technical and layered with keyboard sounds reminiscent of Dream Theater and Queensryche. The vocals range from powerful lead lines, big harmonies and demonic screams in the vein of Devin Townsend and Mike Patton. The band's inspiration comes from guitarist/vocalist Dan addressing the last 10 years of his life, focusing on his excess and drug abuse which took him to a dark place and his determination to move onto a brighter future.
The Omega Experiment was originally self-released by the band as a digital download via bandcamp and iTunes to much critical acclaim. Acclaim is something the band is no stranger to either, as they earned the praise of Devin Townsend on the very night the Karma EP was released in early 2011. Via Twitter, Townsend was quoted as saying, "Actually listening now...great great work man! Seriously great stuff Dan, I fully back it and appreciate the effort you've invested I wish all luck!" The EP later went on to receive over 2000 downloads.
