Breaking Orbit is an Australian metal and rock band from Sydney , which was founded in 2009 under the name Nucleus .
history
The band was formed in October 2009 by guitarist and singer Matt Quayle, drummer Mark Tyson and guitarist Dylan Mitrovich under the name Nucleus. The line-up was supplemented by bassist Ayden Mitrovich. After the first rehearsals as well as the first song writing, the band went on tour through Australia with bands like Dead Letter Circus and Cog . In addition, a first EP was released , which includes a cover version of the massive attack song Dissolved Girl . In the middle of the year the group went to the studio to start working on their debut album. In the next few months the singles My Direction and Callsign were released at the end of 2010. As a result, their popularity had increased somewhat in 2011, before further tours followed towards the end of the year. Earlier this year the group had been paused due to issues outside of the band. In 2012 the debut album The Time Traveler, produced by Dylan Mitrovich, was released . The band was then heard on the radio on Triple J and she was nominated for "Best Rock Act" at the MusicOz Awards that same year . In 2013 they went on a national tour, with the group performing again with Dead Letter Circus. The group also held their own headlining tour to promote Silence Seekers , their second single that was removed from the album. Then work on the second album began. After the singles Become the Light and When Isis Starts to Cry had already been released, the second album Transcension was released in May 2015 .
style
According to Brian Giffin in his Encyclopedia of Australian Heavy Metal , the band plays a progressive mix of metal and alternative hard rock . Andreas Schiffmann from musikreviews.de wrote in his review of The Time Traveler that the first half is a "purely instrumental, sometimes dense and sometimes airy post-rock design in the spirit of Devin Townsend " before you deal with that Singing closer to neo-prog . As far as emotionality is concerned, you just miss the middle anathema , with the singing sounding similarly longing. In addition to parallels to U2 and Tool , borrowings from Djent and Math-Rock are audible, so that the album as a whole is a balancing act between progressive sounds and modern metal. Stefan Glas from Rock Hard wrote in his review of Transcension that you can hear alternative rock with a "tool touch", as you are used to from Karnivool . On the album “ spherical melodies” can be heard “in spite of the partially lower-pitched Modern Prog Metal - riff walls of the Meshuggah School”.
