Founded in New Haven, USA in 2015
EARTHSIDE is a New England-based creative collective that plays an absorbing style of modern progressive music they call 'cinematic rock'. Across their debut work, ''A Dream In Static'', the seasoned group displays a wild stylistic diversity and creative hunger that jams the mental machinery of comparison. Through organic layers of living, breathing orchestra (courtesy of the Moscow Studio Symphony Orchestra), and an eclectic arsenal of world music-influenced instrumentation, EARTHSIDE fashions an ever-changing sound that is equally engrossing alongside a work of cinematic art as it is resonating throughout a densely packed concert venue. ''A Dream In Static'', the group's conceptual mission statement, is a story of purposeful sacrifice and existential yearning told across sweeping instrumental movements, interwoven with adventurous vocal compositions featuring guest performances from premier voices across the rock and metal worlds. The inherently collaborative cross-continental project was recorded in Stockholm, Sweden under the watch of renowned producer and mix engineer David Castillo (OPETH, KATATONIA, BLOODBATH) and additional mix and mastering engineer Jens Bogren (OPETH, SOILWORK, THE OCEAN, DEVIN TOWNSEND).
