about

The album " Black Butterflies" is a big turn in Metus' history. Almost a decade has passed since the very first release came to daylight in early 2007. Now this music touches the deepest parts of souls stronger than ever before . This happens when the art is pure, even virgin. Metus reveals his thoughts and feelings with no compromises through beautiful melodies wrapped in unique, lonesome poetry. The original combination of ambient, rock, neoclassical, metal and early 4AD elements takes listeners to the lands of dreams beyond mind and space... the space of pure feelings. Not only with melodies emanate this album. There are so many details which sounds like pure spiritual power: ambient drums, melodic guitar solos, violin & cello parts which takes us to heavenly places....and sth new - female vocal parts...But don't worry! - it is still oldschool Metus, with his low pitched voice, same unique harmonies, same lonely spirit, but such beautifully developed, such deep and eternal! The album is released in 2 versions - english and polish with the arrangements changed a bit due to the specific expression of those two languages. It took lot of time but was worth of such an effort - shoots straight to the heart of a listener and let those sensitive ones flood with tears of eternity and sth more... Pure art, limited edition in digipack and jewel case (polish version).

about

Metus Jonkoping County, Sweden

Since 2006, Metus has been found as the most dark-melancholic, underground misician in Poland, painting emotional spaces with his deep & low pitched voice. Unique, aethereal compositions are melodic and gloomy filled with poetry, philosophy and hope of everlasting life. Enjoy and share it if you like the sounds. All the best to all of You! ... more

The Ghosts of Pripyat
by Steve Rothery

supported by 4 fans who also own “Black Butterflies”

I was really surprised and happy to see that Steve Rothery had brought out a solo album. I was very impressed by the album itself, Steve Rothery's playing reminds me of some of the greats from people like Eric Clapton (Edge Of Darkness the original Series and Rush) along with Pink Floyd. He has managed to encapsulate styles of playing and merge them effortlessly and seamlessly, a feat that many have tried and few succeeded. leon-1

Beyond The Vale
by Cloud Atlas

supported by 4 fans who also own “Black Butterflies”

From the awesome vocals and great storytelling songwriting brilliantly complemented with soaring, melodic guitar work to the quality keyboarding and tight drum and bass team backing them up, this is prog rock at its best. Music and musicians of this calibre and quality are the antedote to the social media driven, factory-made industry pop that is marketed to us today. This is an outstanding debut album from a band of experienced and talented musicians. May there be many more to come. Dabigar
