The Resonance Project "Ad Astra" CD

The latest album by The Resonance Project, an amazing technical duo that crosses over from progressive rock and metal to jazz and fusion, Japanese guitarist and bassist "Yas Nomura" and Chinese drummer "Lang Zhao", has finally been released! Featuring a host of distinguished musicians such as Mateus Asato, Dino Jelusick (Whitesnake), Hadrien Feraud, and Joey Izzo (Arch Echo), the intertwining of superhuman performances in all parts is the height of "progressive"!
The heavy, intricately pounded riffs, tightly breaking drums, and modern synth orchestra create a precisely constructed production with a grandiose worldview that is impossible to categorize in a single word such as genre or style; it is the ultimate evolution of a sound!

The Resonance Project is a progressive metal duo based in LA who released their self-titled first album in 2019 and received high praise from domestic and international media for their modern and progressive rock and metal sound with a crossover feel of jazz and fusion. In the fall of 2022, they will tour North America with Arch Echo, another new generation technical band that is attracting attention, and the release of their long-awaited second album, "Ad Astra", has finally been decided! As with the previous album, the meticulously crafted production by Yas Nomura and Lang Zhao and the world view depicted on a grand scale are still alive and well, and this time, a number of distinguished musicians will appear as guests to perform a spectacular performance! The album features an emotional guitar solo (M6) by Mateus Asato, the next-generation guitar hero who is currently attracting the most attention and has supported major artists such as Bruno Mars and Tori Kelly on tour, an extremely technical bass (M2) by Hadrien Feraud, who also played on John McLaughlin's album, a keyboard solo (M5) by Joey Izzo, who plays freely in the same way as he does in his own band Arch Echo, and the band's first vocal song, "End of Time" (M8), where Dino Jelusick, who has been a hot topic as a new member of Whitesnake, gives us a powerful vocal performance with his hard voice that has an edge. In addition, the engineer team is also perfect, with Arch Echo's Adam Bentley for the mix and Vlado Meller, who has been nominated for a Grammy many times, for Mustang! The Japanese version also includes an instrumental version of "End of Time" as a bonus track!
