Contact me (Colt) if you would like access to a digital promo for review purposes. Hemina is a Progressive Rock/Metal band formed in 2008 by Douglas Skene. The
band's goal was to write an interesting take on Progressive Metal combining the
sonic extremities and musical virtuosity of the genre whilst preserving the
artistic edge, forward-thinking philosophy and dynamic subtleties found in
Progressive Rock.
In July of 2010, Hemina released an EP entitled 'As We Know It' featuring 3
tracks from their upcoming album 'Synthetic'. The band played 15+ shows within
Australia which has gained them a substantial following within their year on the
live scene.
This 79 minute cinematic concept album is now here and ready to be released
with impressionistic digipak art and the rich sound that Hemina have become
known for since their inception. The album is to be released in October 2011 for
launch shows with Voyager, Arcane and more.
With pristine sound mixed and mastered by Tommy Hansen at Jailhouse Studios
(Redemption, Circus Maximus, Seventh Wonder, Jorn, Helloween), the album is a
powerful, emotional adventure perfectly segueing track-by-track into a sumptuous
and inviting world of Progressive Music.
Hemina's sound is a fine balance of mood, texture and dynamics in order to
sculpt a vast musical journey for its listeners. The band experiments with
intricate harmony (both vocally and instrumentally), thundering rhythms and
intense appreciation for melody which will certainly encapsulate the attention
of a great multitude of fans.
Hemina have also written a 70+ minute concept album to follow up 'Synthetic'
entitled 'Venus' which shall be released some time in 2013.
