Artist of the Day: The Sun Explodes

As JFK so boldly said over 50 years ago, "We celebrate the past to awaken the future." Since the first review I wrote for MuzikDizcovery, two years ago today, I've found that nothing is more rewarding than helping bands get their names out to big audiences, which often gets people excited about music they've never even heard. So I decided the best way to celebrate my tenure would be to get people excited. While I have indeed talked about The Sun Explodes before, and they may not be the smallest of bands, they've got a big release coming up very soon that's worth mentioning. We Build Mountains is the post- / prog-metal band's sophomore album, and seeing as Emergence had so many unique things going for it, I'm expecting some quality composition on this new record. Without a definitive release date, we can't really do anything but hold our breath, but the album will show its face sometime within the next month or two, by the look of the band's Facebook updates. Until then, keep an eye out for the seemingly episodic teaser videos spotlighting the album, and check out Emergence if you haven't already.

The Sun Explodes has limited music on MySpace, but if you have an account, all their music is on Spotify.
