The trio doesn’t just blend genres, they’re breaking the walls wide open. Fusion, Metal, Prog, and Jazz crash together in an explosive surge of improvisation, raw energy, and fearless abandon. Their music thrives on tension and release: razor-sharp riffs collide with intricate grooves, heavy textures dissolve into atmospheric soundscapes, and sudden shifts transform precision into chaos in the blink of an eye.
At the heart of the project are three musicians driven by a shared urge to explore without limits: Samuel Berthoud (Electric Guitar), Sébastien Rudhard (Electric Bass), and Samuel Goupil (Drums). Each comes from a different musical background, progressive rock and metal, jazz and improvisation, experimental and contemporary music, but together they form a living, breathing organism where individuality is amplified rather than erased.
What unites them is energy, unfiltered, fearless, and uncompromising. Every performance becomes a new creation, where improvisation is not just a tool but the core language of the group. Their concerts are journeys that embrace risk, pushing both themselves and the audience into uncharted territory.
This is not music that plays it safe. It’s music that breaks boundaries, shakes the ground, and keeps pushing forward, restless, untamed, and defiantly alive.
Their first album is set to be released by the end of 2025...
