VIPASSI laid their foundation on their debut album ‘Śūnyatā’ in 2017. Originally formed as a project between Daniel Presland (Drums – Ne Obliviscaris, Black Lava, Virvum) & Ben Boyle (Guitars – Black Lava, Hadal Maw, AMDBL) to explore new concepts and sounds not currently engaged by their projects, the band has since grown to add Arran McSporran (Fretless Bass – Virvum, Seven7, Cosmitorium) & Benjamin Baret (Guitars – Ne Obliviscaris, Maer).
Today, they release the first single “Phainesthai” off the new album ‘Lightless’. A continuation of their intricate instrumental project showcasing the pure artistry VIPASSI has to offer. Each instrument in their arsenal is not just a tool for delivering notes, but rather a finely tuned instrument in the symphony of emotions they create. The listener is invited into a sonic universe where they become the author of their own story.
