NEW YORK (November 6, 2026) — Formed in 2022 by drummer Wayne Noon (Phoenix Reign, Project Resurrect, Absolon), the band brings together bassist George Dimitri (Taz, Timeless Haunt), keyboardist Marc Muchnik (The Nightmare Stage), vocalist/guitarist Alex Repetti (Infinite Spectrum, Tension Rising), and guitarist Lou Mavs (The Rebel Medium, Doc Reinhart). Following their self-titled 2023 debut, 2024’s charting Skyward, and 2025’s label debut When Eternity Ends, the band built a rapid momentum-releasing three records in three years by focusing on melodic, trend-free heavy music.
The Cost of Creation is their most ambitious project yet: a nine-song, hour-long progressive metal concept album exploring grief, memory, identity, and artificial intelligence. It will be released on December 11th. Rather than preaching about technology, the narrative follows a human story: a protagonist who uses Al and robotics to recreate deceased loved ones, only to face devastating psychological consequences.
