NEWS: Stellar Death announce their next chapter!

News of the first of an influx of summer releases begins with an EP titled “Sentient (Chapter 1)” from Washington, DC-based Stellar Death, the first part of a series of recordings which will ultimately culminate into a collection of songs based on a thematic exploration of consciousness within the universe. Spanning a trio of cuts the release once again sees duo Scott Loose (Guitars, Bass, Keys, Drum Programing) and Matt Kozar (Guitars, Keys, Drum Programing) join forces with an aggressive musical energy, but is tempered by more ambient/lush passages representing cosmic polarity and self-reflection. Leveraging a plethora of influences, from old school death metal, modern post-rock, and various cinematic soundtracks to create a unique fusion of music that focuses on astronomical and philosophical themes. The pair have collaborated musically for nearly 15 years, primarily through their band Brave.

Although there is much appreciation and love for the music they have created through Brave, Scott and Matt sought a path not constrained by the structure and expectations that come with a band that has existed for over 20 years. Their collective desire to create instrumental music that focuses on specific themes, while drawing from their appreciation of film scores, led to the creation of Stellar Death in November 2019. The project affords them the ability to fully explore different musical landscapes and sonic textures. Thus far they have dabbled with ambient and electronic soundscapes, embraced and elaborated on their progressive rock foundations, and further explored the tension and dynamics of post rock and post metal. Stellar Death has only just started to venture into new and exciting musical areas that attempt to merge all of these varied influences into a unique experience for the listener.
