Description
Emerging from the Italian progressive metal scene, Benthos are set to release their InsideOutMusic debut, From Nothing, on April 11th, 2025. This sophomore album delves into humanity's positive and negative imprints and how these have shaped society over time. Following the band’s 2021 debut, II - a release that resonated powerfully within international progressive and metal communities, with some even hailing it as one of the best debuts in modern progressive metal - From Nothing broadens Benthos' tapestry of aggressive, ethereal, chaotic, and jazz-infused modern prog-metal.
The album includes the exploratory track “Fossil,” the first single released, which showcases the band’s distinctive, dynamic sound across its impressive six minutes. The album’s title track, “From Nothing,” is rooted in poetic lyrics that evoke the turbulent flow of existence - from the highs of ecstasy and the depths of pain to the profound beauty that connects them all. Lyrically, the album serves as a reminder of the power of ideas to shape our world and the legacy we leave in our search for meaning.
Across its 12 tracks, Benthos’ sound remains in constant evolution, marked by a refined dynamism and an unwavering pursuit of a unique musical language. With this boundary-pushing approach, Benthos continues to carve out their identity in the progressive metal landscape, inviting fans to dive deep into an ever-evolving sonic universe.
