In an ever-changing music industry plagued by mediocrity and increasing economic difficulties, metal music is in dire need of a revitalization. The multi-contributor metal project Metaspherical offers a solution. Shrugging off today’s obstacles without a flinch, Metaspherical forges a new path for musicians and their working methods alike.
Creator and producer Jason Morley of Nanaimo, British Columbia began the project with the intent to demonstrate that artists from around the world could play together, despite working in different countries or subgenres of metal. To do this, he enlisted the help of some of the most accomplished names in metal worldwide, and the lineup has since snowballed to a monstrous extent. As of now, featured artists include former and present members of Atheist, Cynic, Death, King Diamond, Origin, Steve Vai’s band, Testament, Voivod, and Zimmer’s Hole, and many other amazingly talented artists. This host of incredible contributors hail from or reside in a plethora of countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Cuba, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Portugal, Sweden, and the United States. Together, these musicians bring aspects of nearly every subgenre of metal to the table to assemble a much more enormous picture – a collection of music worthy of a true brotherhood of metal.
To build such an ambitious project, Jason began by tossing old methods aside. For this first album, he began with a rough structure of guitar parts with accompanying percussive ideas. Other artists worldwide then received this recording and tailored their own styles and approaches to write accompaniments. Ideas were shared back and forth via the internet (sometimes even going through several different musicians) until a fitting, worthwhile vision was realized. Vancouver-based producer/engineer Rob Shallcross (Strapping Young Lad, Gwar, West Of Hell) then stepped in to finish the process with his years of experience in engineering.
