The progressive/post metal trio KILTER, are preparing to unveil the new EP, The Suspended Woman, featuring ANDROMEDA ANARCHIA on November 17th, 2023. The EP showcases a number of pieces from their opera La Suspendida and offers a taste of their forthcoming 2024 full-length offering.
Bassist Laurent David comments:
“I’m extremely honored to introduce you to the first part of our massive opera project! Before you dive into the entire thing, here’s a sneak peek with stripped-down versions of 9 out of the 17 tracks that make up the opera, performed as a trio. These are raw, intense renditions recorded during our Europe/India tour in November 2022. Crank up the volume, of course.”
Alongside the large-scale stage production of the opera La Suspendida, KILTER offers an album featuring selected titles from it, arranged for a trio of drums, electric bass, and bass saxophone. Similar to BENJAMIN BRITTEN’s “Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes”, KILTER presents here the very essence of their compositions. The jazz metal fusion of Laurent David, Kenny Grohowski, and Ed Rosenberg III combines drones, blasts, riffs, and patterns to create a unique sonic experience.
