MATTERGY - Progressive metal/Modern rock, Latvia
Mattergy was formed in 2016 by Aigars Aress Mals, who played previously with the band Enhet, and Ivars Kalnins, who was involved in Bruit Monkey and The Mascaron.
The band's name Mattergy relates to the phenomenon of synergy, whilst playing on the interconnectedness of "matter" and "energy". "We want to show the inseparability of matter and energy and the eternal interaction from one state to another", says Aigars.
In April, 2022 band released their debut album "Primordial Wrath" , with which they wanted to give listeners an exciting and musically rich experience. Each song is a story with different dimensions, which gives the listener the opportunity to find the most resonant of them. The survival of different states of the soul permeates all compositions.
The "Primordial Wrath" album consists of seven songs featuring melodic, progressive and mathematical stylistics of heavy music. The songs center around the search for the essence of human existence and the process of development of the soul.
The band's self-recorded and released album was created in collaboration with the young and talented Swedish sound engineer Fredrik Erlingsson.
