- KVÅRK: The Astral Maze
(2026, download / streaming, bandcamp)
A digital version of KVÅRK's "The Astral Maze" landed on my hard disk this morning.
KVÅRK is an instrumental progressive metal quartet from Marseille, France, whose music is characterized by irregular rhythms and death metal heaviness against hypnotic, slow-burning post-rock atmospheres.
Formed in 2017 by guitarists Eric Lamblot and Christophe Gervasi as a studio project, the group later expanded into a full quartet with bassist Bruno Morgana and drummer Frédéric Cagnol. Their compositions balance angular, dissonant metal riffs with repetitive, ambient passages that build tension gradually.
Working entirely without vocals, the band relies on four interlocking instrumental voices to guide listeners through multi-part cosmic and sci-fi soundscapes.
Following their 2020 five-track EP "Here Comes Trouble" on Tentacles Industries, they released their debut full-length album, "The Astral Maze", on November 4, 2026.
Out on Bandcamp and on CD.
This is great stuff !
