Progressive Metallers MAESTRICK Unveil New Acoustic Version of ‘Lunar Vortex’

Brazilian progressive metallers MAESTRICK are pleased to unveil a new acoustic version of their single “Lunar Vortex,” along with an official visualizer, out now via Frontiers Music Srl.

The track was originally part of the band’s latest album, ‘Espresso Della Vita: Lunare,’ released in May 2025.

MAESTRICK comments on the new version:

“Presenting new arrangements of songs from our catalogue creates the opportunity for a fresh perspective and even a deeper connection with the music. ‘Lunar Vortex’ was therefore the first chosen for a series of acoustic and minimalist versions that will be released. We really hope you enjoy it.”

Founded in São José do Rio Preto/SP by three friends, MAESTRICK has been active since 2006 and brings in sound elements of rock and progressive heavy metal, Brazilian regional music, world music, and classical music.

The band has released two albums in Brazil, Europe, the United States, and Japan, and are recognized for drinking from different artistic aspects – cinema, plastic arts, visual arts, and literature – for their compositions, which results in a unique and, according to specialized critics, innovative style.

Not surprisingly, MAESTRICK captivates movie fans, notably those of Tim Burton, George Méliès, Guillermo del Toro, and Christopher Nolan. In music, it attracts listeners of both modern rock/metal, such as Muse, and also of more niche styles within metal, such as Dream Theater, Haken, Jinjer, Spirit Box, and classics like Queen, Yes, and Gentle Giant.

Their songs address complex everyday themes of human nature. The album ‘Espresso Della Vita: Solare,’ from 2018, was rated by BURRN!, one of the most respected music publications in the world, with a score of 86/100 – quite high for the publication’s standard. Solare‘s success led to a tour of Europe with nine shows in Switzerland, Italy, Poland, and the Czech Republic.

With their latest album ‘Espresso Della Vita: Lunare,’ MAESTRICK aim to redefine the progressive metal boundaries. The number of high-quality arrangements, musical abilities and influences that the band infused in the new album created the most fresh and exciting album of the genre in years.

With a malicious, dark, heavy and sarcastic approach, MAESTRICK deliver adult themes like addictions, racial prejudice, abuse, the holocaust and much more. It is a very emotional album, with deep reflections about what really matters in our journey/life.
