Experimental progressive metal band Benthos has recently unveiled their highly anticipated sophomore album, “From Nothing,” under InsideOutMusic. The album, comprising 12 tracks, showcases the band’s unique blend of modern progressive metal, mathcore, and post-hardcore genres. Critics and fans alike have been captivated by the album’s diverse and energetic sound, describing it as a bold, melodic, and dreamlike musical experience that defies conventional categorization.
Highlighted by singles like “Fossil,” “Pure,” “As A Cordyceps,” and “Let Me Plunge,” along with the focus track “Perpetual Drone Monkeys,” “From Nothing” marks Benthos’ first full record since signing with InsideOutMusic. The band members express their excitement about the album, emphasizing the personal and creative risks they took to explore new sounds and themes that delve into the complexities of the human experience.
“Perpetual Drone Monkeys,” in particular, offers a raw and unfiltered glimpse into a dystopian future where human consciousness has eroded, leaving individuals at the mercy of their primal instincts. Benthos’ tracklist for “From Nothing” includes a range of compositions such as “It Starts,” “Recompose,” “The Giant Child,” and “To Everything,” each contributing to the album’s narrative and sonic landscape.
With formats like Ltd. CD Digipak, Standard CD Jewelcase (US only), and Ltd. clear-black marbled LP available, fans can immerse themselves in the band’s latest offerings. Additionally, Benthos will be hosting an exclusive release show for “From Nothing” on May 1st in Milan, Italy, followed by a performance at the Euroblast Festival in September in Germany.
Originating from Milan, Italy, Benthos has been making waves in the experimental progressive metal scene since their formation in 2018. Their debut album, “II,” released in 2021, showcased their technical prowess and dynamic musical style. The band’s evolution with “From Nothing” reflects their commitment to pushing boundaries and creating a unique sonic identity that resonates with audiences globally.
As Benthos continues to redefine the boundaries of progressive metal, their partnership with InsideOutMusic signifies a new chapter in their musical journey. With a growing fan base and critical acclaim, Benthos stands out as a band that seamlessly blends precision, unpredictability, and melody into a mesmerizing musical experience that challenges and rewards listeners.
