Etherius

Since forming in 2017, Etherius made themselves known for their unique take on the modern guitar instrumental genre. Refusing to bend the knee to trends, the group’s direction stands its ground while elevating their sound to new and uncharted territories. Etherius, led by guitarist Jay Tarantino, have managed to modernize the approach of classic influences such as Megadeth and Testament to inspirational new heights. Their newest album, “Hymns of the Crimson Raven,” marks the start of an entirely new chapter for the neoclassical thrash metallers. Produced by Angel Vivaldi and mixed by Jason Suecof (Trivium, All That Remains, August Burns Red), their upcoming album is sure to turn the guitar instrumental genre on its side with a much needed power-packed release of ferocious guitar playing and unrelenting thrash riffs with a classic aura. Their debut EP, “Thread of Life” garnered them the fanbase to open for acts such as Allegaeon and Within The Ruins. Slated to tour with Allegaeon in 2020, the unfortunate circumstance of the pandemic kept them home and focused on their second release “Chaos. Order. Renewal.” produced by guitar virtuoso Angel Vivaldi and mixed/mastered by Chris Clancy at Audioworks Productions. After the album’s success, it was clear that Etherius were here to stay and continue to push the boundaries of what progressive thrash metal can become.
