Prog metal outfit Third Ion, featuring former members of The Devin Townsend Band and Into Eternity, will release debut album “13/8Bit” on May 25th, 2015 via Glasstone Records.
The band has released a teaser video featuring music from the album; check it out below.
“13/8Bit” will be available in CD format through the label and in digital format on iTunes. Album artwork comes courtesy of Harley K at Necrographix.
Third Ion has posted a full studio performance video of the song “Zero Mass”. Watch the video below. Lead single “Capitol Spill” can also be streamed below.
Third Ion is the product of a mutual love of prog, video games, and science. The debut album will contain eight to ten songs, including the title track which is written entirely in “13/8Bit” time signature. 8-Bit musical
renditions of every song will be released as well, to pay homage to their 1980s classic gaming inspirations.
Line-up:
Justin Bender - Guitar
Aaron Edgar - Drums
Mike Young - Bass
Tyler Gilbert - Vocals
Third Ion is a project talked about, envisioned, and anticipated by Justin and Aaron since the day they met, by chance, in mid-2010. A few of the songs have been in the works since shortly after they met, but meeting Mike and getting him on board was the jump start needed to truly get this band off the ground.
Now with the addition of Tyler on vocals, and the first few songs demoed, everyone is extremely excited about the future of this project and where it could go. Planning is underway for an amazing live show, with an emphasis on minimalism and mood. Every single member of this band comes from a large base of touring and recording experience, and plan to use their resources to get this new project on the road and heard by as many people as possible. Plans are already under way to tour Canada, and seek label or grant funding to support the tours.
