More information about Lightless

VIPASSI laid their foundation on their debut album ‘Śūnyatā’ in 2017. Originally formed as a project between Daniel Presland (Drums – Ne Obliviscaris, Black Lava, Virvum) & Ben Boyle (Guitars – Black Lava, Hadal Maw, AMDBL) to explore new concepts and sounds not currently engaged by their projects, the band has since grown to add Arran McSporran (Fretless Bass – Virvum, Utopia, Cosmitorium) & Benjamin Baret (Guitars – Ne Obliviscaris, Maer).

Following their first single “Phainesthai“, released on the 15th of November, the band further showcases their technical prowess on their second single off the upcoming album ‘Lightless’. Immersing the listener into a labyrinth of intricate melodies, rhythmical complexities and a symphony of emotions – “Labyrinthine Hex” proves that VIPASSI don’t need lyrics to tell a story.

Accompanying the release of this brand new single is an enchanting studio performance, capturing the full band in their element as they breathe life into “Labyrinthine Hex”. The playthrough provides an intimate glimpse into the collaborative synergy that defines VIPASSI‘s creative process, displaying the virtuosity of each band member as they weave an embroidery of progressive metal brilliance.
