Let’s be honest that world-renowned experimental chamber progressive rock band in South Korea is unimaginable. Despite the musical status, this band has presented wonderful surprise to the progressive rock enthusiasts through its previous work, “The Grand Design”.

Chronologically, this is SuperString’s 2nd album which was released in 2017 right after their 1st album The Grand Design. However, this could have been their debut album since it contains the early recordings of SuperString.

Genres of the band range from classical, progressive rock, heavy metal to RIO, avant prog, whatever the terms are called. Violinist Kang H.J leads from the front with her virtuosity while other members build the strong foundation of their unique sound, presenting delicate, sensitive, aggressive and paradoxically lyrical at times, sometimes, very witty, too. There are so many twists and turns as prog fans have a spot to appreciate, at least.

In 2018, they also released 3rd studio album called ‘Architecture’ which I would like to humbly introduce all of genuine music lovers as well as prog fans in the world. I'm not saying the band is Korean Magma or Korean Univers Zero, but they play the genuine music and create very unique style which is hard to put in a specific genre.

Well, hopefully, see them live on the 20th of April in Japan, check it out the detail on Google!

Thanks!
