UK prog metal band. Their debut album The Jaunt (2025) is a concept album based on the short story "The Jaunt" (June 1981 Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone Magazine) by Stephen King. In the future, Teleportation is common but safe only under sedation. Story and album follow the consequences of breaking the rules and staying conscious during the process, and the dissolution of reality that follows. This technically complex album, heavy on riffs and wailing solos, harks back to 1990s prog metallers like Opeth, and perhaps further back to the likes of Marillion. [CWa]
