Fantasy Progressive Rock Trio Knim has officially signed a deal for the reissue of their mesmerising debut EP, “When A Star Falls,” slated for re-release on December 12, 2023.
Formed originally during the COVID restrictions, Knim started out as a recording project between guitarist Dennis Berry and drummer Peter Nicholson. The original musical idea behind the band was to blend heavy riffs with progressive song structures and complex time changes, and as the band grew into itself this evolved further to include atmospheric synthesizer sections and storytelling lyrical concepts.
The debut album When A Star Falls was originally released independently in late November 2022 to a positive reception, and the band is looking to continue evolving with a view to releasing additional material in 2024
The band members express their excitement about this new chapter, stating, “We are delighted to be working alongside WormholeDeath for the rerelease of our debut EP “When A Star Falls”. We’ve put a lot of work into writing and recording this and we know Wormholedeath will do a fantastic job of pushing it out to all the right people.”
“When A Star Falls”
“When a Star Falls” is heavily inspired by various progressive rock/metal acts, particularly the likes of Tool, Porcupine Tree, and Oceansize, and the writing process often involved taking fairly straightforward riffs or ideas and simply experimenting with what would happen if the time signature was amended or the idea was chopped up digitally. The writing process initially started during lockdown, with ideas for what would eventually become “The Incongruity Of I” being born out of guitarist Dennis Berry and drummer Peter Nicholson performing home instrument recordings and then passing these back and forth online. This writing process persisted for the majority of the songs on the album, allowing for easier reflection on the longer songs’ orders and sudden changes of direction. Once the album had been demoed it was recorded by Ari Rannus, with the final product being the sum of over 18 months of hard work.
