Last Friday, February 23rd, Dublin Ireland – Having gripped the attention of the underground Irish scene early last year, there is no question that galactic progressive unit, Nebularis have come a long way in a very short period of time.

Order the album, here.

Nebularis’ full-length LP, ‘Exodus – Shattered Earth Saga – Part I’ comes in tandem with LP’s final single, ‘Critias‘. 

Having previously released ‘Subnautica‘, ‘Cataclysm‘, ‘Holocene‘ and most recently, ‘Voyager‘ to rave reviews, the band were also hand-selected for Ireland’s National Broadcasting platform, RTE 2XM for a new project titled ‘Sessions From Oblivion‘, as well as reaching the final in Bloodstock Metal 2 The Masses Ireland, and invited to perform at the bi-annual Siege of Limerick day festival this past October. 

Check out the latest single ‘Critias’ here. 

‘Exodus – Shattered Earth Sage – Part I‘ is a immersive body of work that sees the band as architects of a musical concept that highlights tragedy, hope and strength, not to mention a plethora of soaring melodies and technical progressive metal riffing from guitarist, Mó Sheerin. 
 
Speaking of the new album, the band explains; “A cracked ball held together by its own mass, its luminescent blood seeping through cracks that span entire continents and boiling oceans: this is the last view the remnants of humanity have of Earth as they flee in horror and anger. But this event marks only the beginning of their saga, as they come to terms with the reality of what they have done, and perhaps, will do in the years and centuries to come. The overriding question in their minds is twofold; will they find a new home amongst the stars, and if so, will they repeat the same mistakes that led to their world’s obliteration?” 
 
Shedding some light on the albums concept, guitarist Mó Sheerin adds: “I always sought out for the album to have an illustrious display of Science Fiction and general dork lore. Hythams’ (Vocals) lyrics really brought the concept to fruition, and we’re so proud of his work. His words truly painted the imagery behind the story of humanity on a relentless quest to find a new and less hostile life beyond the stars.”

Speaking of the new single, vocalist Hytham Martin says: “A long time has passed since the remnants of humanity have colonised Elysium. After dozens of decades of struggle and compromise, the countries, continents and unions have come to an uneasy truce, with the help of the Elysium-born generations who have chosen to both acknowledge the mistakes of the past, and honor humanity’s losses.
Nevertheless, none of this could have been achieved without the intervention of their god Asterion, also known as ‘The Voyager’, who guided humanity for over a millennium across the black void of space in an effort to save them from themselves. Yet, there are those in the shadows and corners of Elysium who have secret heretical knowledge, and plan to expose the origins of this false God!”
 
The new single follows previous isolated tracks ‘Cataclysm’, ‘Subnautica’, ‘Holocene’, and ‘Voyager‘, which all contribute to the blossoming story that unfolds throughout the album.

Emerging from the Irish underground scene in early 2023, Progressive Metal project, NEBULARIS have achieved a great deal in such a short period of time. The band caught the attention of Irish metal fans thanks to their success in performing at the annual Bloodstock Metal 2 The Masses Ireland final in May of 2023. 
 
With three singles under their collective belts, the band have announced the release date of their highly-anticipated debut concept album, ‘Exodus – Shattered Earth Saga – Part I’ on February 23rd and to celebrate the news, a fourth single, ‘Voyager’ is available since Friday, February 9th.

The album’s overall concept is described as; “A cracked ball held together by its own mass, its luminescent blood seeping through cracks that span entire continents and boiling oceans: this is the last view the remnants of humanity have of Earth as they flee in horror and anger. But this event marks only the beginning of their saga, as they come to terms with the reality of what they have done, and perhaps, will do in the years and centuries to come. The overriding question in their minds is twofold; will they find a new home amongst the stars, and if so, will they repeat the same mistakes that led to their world’s obliteration?” 
 
Shedding some light on the albums concept, guitarist Mó Sheerin says: “I always sought out for the album to have an illustrious display of Science Fiction and general dork lore. Hythams’ (Vocals) lyrics really brought the concept to fruition, and we’re so proud of his work. His words truly painted the imagery behind the story of humanity on a relentless quest to find a new and less hostile life beyond the stars.”
 
Speaking of the new single, vocalist Hytham Martin says: “In the void of space and in their co-simulated world during hyper-sleep, the remnants of humanity continue on their journey as they wrestle with their actions and dream of a new home. ‘Voyager’, the AI core of the colony-ship ‘Sigma’, is wrestling with its own demons. 
Witness to the disastrous attempt at the colonization of a celestial body comprised of 99.7% water, and the ensuing schism caused amongst its creators; the AI core contemplates the nature of its creator’s morality as their ethics seems to run contradictory to their actions thus far. In light of all that has happened, it muses, perhaps they are unfit to become the custodians of their own futures.’

The new single follows previous isolated tracks ‘Cataclysm’, ‘Subnautica’ and ‘Holocene’, which all contribute to the blossoming story that unfolds throughout the album.

In keeping with the bands previous singles ‘Subnautica’ and ‘Cataclysm’ earlier this year, Dublin-based NEBULARIS present their latest hybrid of Progressive Metal and heart-soaring melodies with, ‘Holocene’, which is available from September 29th on all streaming platforms. 
 
Melding elements of progressive Metal with concepts of cinematic futuristic space travel, Nebularis drew attention almost immediately thanks to their captivating arrangements and powerful vocals from frontman, Hytham Martin. Starting out as a three-piece the band spent the early part of Summer 2023 seeking a full-time bassist, leading to the introduction of one Riccardo DiMaio in July. 

Speaking of the new single, the band comments: “Holocene is possibly our heaviest, darkest and the most cinematic track up to date. It reveals a much heavier side to Hytham’s vocals, while and yet maintains to the touching nature of his clean vocals.  
Riff-wise, Mo created a much more ominous mood with this one while still maintaining her melodic signature sound creating a Yin-Yang effect. Drum-wise Damian created a very strong foundation, and kept with the frantic and hopeful theme of the song. You can hear all his usual “proggy” grooves as well as the more extreme part of his playing. ‘Holocene’ the fastest double bass part in Nebularis’ catalogue to date. 
Synth and orchestration wise Holocene is a lot more cinematic compared to the other two tracks with a very special surprise in the middle of the song. Over all the main things that set the song apart from others are combination of moods, and the brand new cinematic elements that take the listener on a whole new journey.”

Hailing from the Irish capital, NEBULARIS is a three-piece Technical Metal project that encapsulates the essence of Sci-Fi, cinematic film scores, with powerhouse progressive arrangements that exceed expectations.  

The band’s debut single, ‘Cataclysm’ is a precursor to their full-length album, currently getting the finishing touches by engineer/producer/musician Ben Wanders [The Enigma Division]. 

Following the welcoming introduction to the bands debut single in April, Nebularis continue to push the boundaries of expectations with the their latest single, ‘Subnautica’, which flows seamlessly in line with futuristic concept linked to ‘Cataclysm’.

Speaking of ‘Subnauticia’, guitarist Mó Sheerin says: “The intergenerational crew of the colony-ship Sigma have awakened to a harsh reality. The ship’s navigational system Voyager has foreseen the need to refuel, and has chartered a course to a suitable celestial body. Upon awakening, the initial euphoria of reaching a possibly habitable world is crushed; the planet is an ocean world with no land in sight!”

Hailing from the Irish capital, NEBULARIS is a three-piece Technical Metal project that encapsulates the essence of Si-Fi, cinematic film scores, with powerhouse progressive arrangements that exceed expectations. The band’s debut single, ‘Cataclysm’ is a precursor to their full-length album, which is currently getting the finishing touches by engineer/producer/ musician Ben Wanders [The Enigma Division]. 

Speaking of the new track, the band states, ”Battered and broken, the remnants of humanity flee a dying Earth. As they sail through the stellar void in search of a new home, will they survive the ordeal, or fall prey to their darker instincts?”

Nebularis released their debut single, “Cataclysm” on all platforms on 17th February.

The initial concept for the project was to be a solo endeavour by guitarist, Mo Sheerin. She set out to find a drummer which led her to cross paths with Damian Dziennik. Damian being well established, having served drum duties with many bands in Ireland, shines through with a stunning percussive threshold, which can be compared with Portnoy, Danny Carey, and Danny Judd. Mo then recruited the legend himself, Terry McHugh as bassist for the album. Terry being described by many as the Jaco Pastorius of Northern Ireland, brings an eclectic, progressive, and simply outrageous level of talent, and melodic infrastructure to Nebularis as a whole. 
As the sounds grew larger, Damian, and Mo set their eyes and ears on obtaining a vocalist that fit the bill. Enter – Hytham Martin. 

Former founding member of Eyesclosed, and former member of Lluther, Hytham’s range and phenomenal balance with clean to “Heavy Devy-like” vocals made heads turns in the studio. This was the singer they had been looking for, as well as having a fabulous stage presence, and a talent for writing harmonious vocal melodies. And so the Nebularis team was built. 

The next few months they set out on working on an album together. Slowly but surely realising a full band was inevitably the way to go. Completing song after song. With the addition of synthesizers, choirs, and orchestral elements, the Astral and progressive broth has been a-brewing non stop. 
With three singles to be released this year, as well as a full length album (mixed and mastered by Ben Wanders at Wanderland Studios), Nebularis will aim to bring a fresh element to eyes, and ears.
