UXIA‘s second official release is the song “Journey to Begin.” UXIA is a five piece Prog Metal band from the Twin Cities of Minnesota. “Journey” s is the bond single from their upcoming self-titled album, which will be released in the first half of 2025 via Fable Factory.
Blending the technical prowess of Opeth , the atmospheric depths of Porcupine Tree, and the primal energy of Mastodon , UXIA crafts a sound that is at once aggressive, intricate, and deeply emotive.
UXIA is a five-piece collective whose music transcends genre conventions, interlacing Heavy riffs, ethereal soundscapes, and thought-provoking lyrical narratives. Tracks like “Journey to Begin” and “Welcome Holm” dive into the tension between despair and hope, reflecting a profound meditation on the human experience through the lens of nature and existential struggle.
“We want every song to feel like a journey, like the listener is moving through a world that’s as emotional as it is sonic,” the band shares.
The album was meticulously recorded by Will Maravelas at 14:59 and Reed Reimer at Fable Factory, with Reed Reimer also handling mixing and mastering duties to deliver a final product that is immersive, powerful, and sonically rich.
UXIA’s self-titled debut is not just a record-it’s a statement. With a clear vision and relentless dedication to pushing musical boundaries, UXIA invites listeners to join them on a journey of transformation and discovery.
For fans of Porcupine Tree, Opeth, and Mastodon, UXIA offers a captivating and unforgettable Progressive Metal experience.
