"In Limbo Pt. 1" is the debut album from Greek Progressive/Post Metal band The Lotus Matter. Originally formed in 2017, under a different name and lineup, the 5-piece went through several changes over the following years. As the band transitioned from their early progressive death metal sound, their music evolved into a more experimental and atmospheric style, blending a diverse array of influences and genres.

Informed by ‘90s post-metal/indie, they couple art-rock density with classic ‘70s “grandeur”! “In Limbo Pt. 1” is complex yet crispy, with distinct, interlocking melodies over a cinematic ambience.

The album was recorded at both Backstage and Brain Drain Studios, mixed by John Vulgaris at Electric Highway Studios and mastered by Theodoros Bournas at Arkadikon Studio. In addition to the core members of the band, The Lotus Matter employ guest vocalists, strings and bagpipes, elevating “In Limbo Pt. 1” to a non-stop artistic feat!

“In Limbo Pt. 1” is due out on June 13, on limited edition vinyl (classic black and bone color vinyl), and digipack CD, via Sound Effect Records.
