EGRES, formed in 2020 in Helsinki, plays cinematic, progressive metal. The band features monumental structures, sophisticated orchestration and plenty of dialogue between the instruments. Their music is strongly leaning on intuition and the melodies arise from the composer’s personal life.

Started as an experiment, the project turned into a full band of six members. The debut album Introspection saw the daylight in June 2022. The themes of the album revolve around experiencing humanity in its beauty and pain. After the recordings the vocalist decided to leave the limelight and a successor was selected for her.
.

The band has been touring for over a year now with constantly evolving the setlist and stage show. New single, Higher Beings, was released in October 2023. The song marks a new era of EGRES exhibiting the grande repertoire and experimental spheres EGRES pursues.
