AEDAN SKY is the brand-new solo project from Sébastien Chabot, best known as the guitarist & singer of French power metal band Galderia and bassist/composer in Kingcrown alongside ex-Nightmare frontman Joe Amore. After years of touring across Europe, racking up millions of streams and shaping a solid discography, Seb launches a new creative journey, a return to his roots in speed-driven, uplifting melodic power metal.

“The Universal Realm” is far more than a debut album; it’s a fully realized space opera metal saga telling the story of a cosmic journey toward spiritual awakening and universal consciousness. Written, arranged, and produced entirely by Sébastien, the album reflects his personal vision supported by long-time collaborators from the Galderia circle. To bring the story to life, the album features three lead vocalists performing as the main characters: Sébastien Chabot as SKY / Bob Saliba (Kingcrown, ex-Galderia) as AEDAN / Thomas Schmitt (Galderia) as SKY’s Soul. Their voices weave together across the songs, creating a rich, theatrical dynamic reminiscent of the classic metal opera format.

The album’s mix and master were handled by Simone Mularoni (Rhapsody, DGM, Secret Sphere) at Domination Studio, ensuring top-tier sound quality. The stunning cover artwork was created by Felipe Machado Franco, known for his work with some of the most iconic bands in the genre. Musically, “The Universal Realm” pays homage to the golden era of late ’90s and early 2000s European power metal, blending fast riffs, anthemic choruses, massive choir harmonies, and spiritually charged lyrics. It’s a heartfelt tribute to the genre’s greats, while carving out a distinct space through its narrative ambition and cohesive artistic direction.

Following the digital success of singles “Beyond The Vortex Of Time” and “A Kingdom To The Stars“, the album now arrives to offer fans the full epic journey. This record also marks the first chapter in an ongoing saga.

Fans of melodic and conceptual power metal will find in AEDAN SKY a fresh, passionate, and authentic voice.

After the enthusiastic response to their debut single “Beyond The Vortex Of Time”, AEDAN SKY return with their brand new single “A Kingdom To The Stars”, available worldwide from August 29th, 2025, via Rockshots Records.

AEDAN SKY is the visionary creation of Sébastien Chabot (Galderia, Kingcrown), a space opera project where speed, melody, and storytelling merge into an epic musical odyssey. His upcoming debut album “The Universal Realm” (September 12th, 2025) is a concept record that intertwines cosmic themes, uplifting power metal, and metaphysical reflections, brought to life with the support of longtime collaborators Bob Saliba (vocals/guitar, Kingcrown, ex-Galderia) and Thomas Schmitt (vocals/guitar, Galderia).

“A Kingdom To The Stars” expands upon the project’s core vision: an exhilarating, pure speed power metal track featuring anthemic choruses, high-flying vocals, and fast-driven riffs, all tied together with a deeply narrative spirit. Within the storyline of “The Universal Realm“, the protagonist Sky receives a luminous vision of a celestial kingdom, foreshadowing the arrival of a new being and the dawn of transformation. The interplay between the three lead voices, Chabot as Sky, Saliba as Aedan, and Schmitt as Sky’s Soul, creates a dramatic and operatic texture reminiscent of the finest moments of the metal opera tradition.

Following the tradition of late-’90s and early-2000s European power metal, AEDAN SKY reinvigorates the genre with modern production and a spiritually charged concept. The single was mixed and mastered by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio (Rhapsody, DGM, Secret Sphere), ensuring top-tier sound quality, while the album’s cover artwork was created by the acclaimed Felipe Machado Franco, whose visionary style has adorned countless legendary metal releases.

With “A Kingdom To The Stars”, confirm the momentum sparked by their debut and offer another glimpse into the larger cosmic journey told throughout “The Universal Realm“. Fans of Helloween, Gamma Ray, Avantasia, Stratovarius, and Angra will find an authentic new voice carrying the torch of melodic, anthemic power metal into a new era.

Rockshots Records is proud to unveil “The Universal Realm”, the debut full-length by France’s AEDAN SKY – a visionary space metal opera crafted by Sébastien Chabot, known for his work as singer/guitarist of GALDERIA and bassist in KINGCROWN.

Echoing the golden age of European power metal, “The Universal Realm” is a conceptual journey that blends speed, melody, and spiritual narrative into ten chapters of awakening. Drawing inspiration from science fiction and esoteric philosophy, the album tells the story of SKY and AEDAN as they traverse space, time, and consciousness on a mission to ignite humanity’s inner light.

Three lead vocalists interpret the story’s characters, creating a theatrical and emotionally charged vocal experience:

• Sébastien Chabot as SKY
• Bob Saliba (Kingcrown, ex-Galderia) as AEDAN
• Thomas Schmitt (Galderia) as SKY’s Soul

Musically, the album delivers an intense and uplifting melodic power metal ride: fast riffing, massive choirs, anthemic choruses, and cinematic soundscapes.

The first single to be released from “The Universal Realm” is titled “Beyond The Vortex Of Time”, and it serves as the perfect introduction to AEDAN SKY’s interstellar universe, a sweeping space opera built on the foundations of classic power metal. With high-speed riffs, majestic choirs, and soaring vocals, “Beyond The Vortex Of Time” delivers a powerful experience for fans of early Helloween, Gamma Ray, and Avantasia.

“Beyond The Vortex Of Time” captures the moment when the main character, SKY, is pulled through a vortex of light, transcending time and space and awakening to a new cosmic consciousness. It’s a dynamic and uplifting track, driven by speed, melody, and anthemic intensity.
