Earthside is an American progressive metal band from New Haven, Connecticut founded in late 2015 by gui
The band doesn't have a full-time vocalist; instead they have guests in their albums and perform live with prerecorded vocal tracks and image projections of the singers.[4]
History
[edit]The band released their debut A Dream in Static in 2015, featuring Daniel Tompkins (Tesseract), Björn Strid (Soilwork) and the Moscow Studio Symphony Orchestra.[2] The album was promoted by the single "Mob Mentality", which was originally part of guitarist Jamie van Dyck's thesis at Yale School of Music and featured Lajon Witherspoon of Sevendust.[5] In 2024, Loudwire elected it as one of the 11 best progressive metal debut albums.[6]
In 2016, they supported Leprous (with Voyager) for the European leg of their The Congregation tour.[5]
In November 2022, they released a new song titled "We Who Lament", featuring Canadian singer Keturah and part of their then upcoming second album.[7]
In September, prior to the release of the new album, they released "Pattern of Rebirth" featuring AJ Channer (Fire from the Gods).[8] In the same month, van Dyck announced on social media that he had been diagnosed with testicular cancer.[9]
In November 2023, they released their second album Let the Truth Speak via Music Theories Recordings / Mascot Label Group, featuring many guests, including members from Tesseract and Leprous.[1] Also in November, they were announced as the supporting band for the North American tour of Australian progressive metal band Caligula's Horse promoting their album Charcoal Grace.[10]
In February 2024, however, they performed live with a vocalist for the first time ever when Channer joined them onstage.[4]
