Progressive metal duo Obsidian Skies from Boulder, Colorado, USA, announces the release of their new single “Unmade by the Ocean”, a symphonic journey through a post-apocalyptic underwater world. The single, premiering today via Prog Sphere (see below), marks the first offering from their upcoming full-length album to be released in 2025. The comment on the track:
“Unmade by the Ocean is heavy-hitting, rhythmic, and technically challenging, while still maintaining a very melodic core. With soaring solos on guitar, bass, and piano, it is a song with a unique and diverse sound. Lyrically, it tells the story of a small group of people who spent the years of Earth’s apocalypse underground, and must now come to terms with their new reality and find hope where there is none.”
Born from the creative partnership of Logan (guitar) and Tim (bass/vocals), former members of the band Endlight (2014-2017), Obsidian Skies emerged during the pandemic as the duo reunited to forge a new musical path. Their combined experience – Logan’s formal composition training and Tim’s technical background – brings a unique depth to their songwriting approach.
The track showcases the band’s signature sound, combining technical progressive metal with neoclassical and symphonic elements. Distinctive piano and bass interplay creates a foundation for intricate melodic solos, while harsh vocals drive the narrative forward, punctuated by clean vocal sections that provide dynamic contrast. It is recommended for fans of Ne Obliviscaris, Alkaloid, and Amon Amarth.
