Athenian progressive metalers Calyces are sharing their new album Fleshy Waves of Probability, which is out on March 21. It’s a mix of ’00s sludge prog metal with ’70s progressive rock influences, and you can hear it below.
“Our debut album, Impulse to Soar, depicted conception and the beginning of life,” the band explain. “Fleshy Waves of Probability continues that journey. It explores birth, adaptation to a new world, and the infinite possibilities that lie ahead—where we can go and how our lives take shape through countless choices. It is a work about freedom, about the ability to create without limits, without a predetermined plan, letting each moment guide you to the next. It resembles the improvisation of a dancer in a state of ecstasy—Every movement is a wave of probability giving rise to the next. That’s how we feel during the composition process. We begin with a blank canvas. A riff, an idea, a brushstroke, and from there, the journey unfolds with endless possibilities. Fleshy Waves of Probability speaks to this absolute freedom, but also to the struggle to achieve it. It is an ode to the fight for liberation—emotional, social, personal. Along the way, there are obstacles and hardships, oppression and fear, but also the deep yearning to rise, create, and find your own path.”
