Prepare for a sonic singularity as the electrifying, female-fronted metal outfit The Wave And The Particle announces their official signing with WormHoleDeath Records. This partnership paves the way for the release of their album, Electric Sheep, set to drop on January 31st, 2025.
"WormHoleDeath has a rich history of supporting artists who aren't afraid to take risks, and we're honored to be among them," states the band. "This signing opens up new possibilities for us, and we're excited to see where this road will take us. A huge thank you to the entire team at WormHoleDeath for their trust in our band. We can't wait to bring you new music and experiences that will push the boundaries of what The Wave And The Particle can be."
Electric Sheep takes listeners on a journey through the near and distant future, exploring the impact of globalization, emerging technologies, and the shifting concept of self in the digital age. Each song delves into these themes, reflecting on the world that is rapidly transforming around us.
The album's sound is layered and dynamic, ranging from acoustic alt-rock to the intensity of doom metal. Synths and symphonic elements are woven into the metal core, creating a dynamic and immersive musical landscape. Drawing from influences in symphonic metal, industrial rock, and electronic music, Electric Sheep presents a compelling exploration of the future through sound.
The Wave and the Particle, based in Fremont, CA, fuses post-industrial rock, symphonic metal, and progressive rock into a powerful, unique sound. Formed in 2015 by Vasiliy and Katie, the band started as an experiment to blend dark industrial beats with soaring symphonic vocals. In 2016, guitarist Chandra joined, adding intricate solos that enriched their sound, culminating in their debut album, "Event Horizon," released in 2019.
Despite challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, the lineup solidified in 2021 with the addition of drummer Abhiram and bassist Alessandro. Over the next two years, they refined their sound and experimented with new song structures.
As 2023 approached, the band began work on their second album, "Electric Sheep," inspired by cyberpunk themes that explore technologies, transhumanism, globalization, and digital identity. Committed to pushing musical boundaries, The Wave and the Particle crafts music that resonates on multiple levels.
