THE PARALLEX METHOD
"Devastatingly contagious" is how Prog Magazine describes this instrumental trio. The Parallax Method are three friends who initially got together to jam the type of music they loved without any plan of taking it out the rehearsal room. With vastly diverse inspirations between them, but a combined love of modern prog acts such as Tesseract, Karnivool and Periphery it was all but inevitable that the trio would start crafting music with this style in mind. Instead of going down this route exclusively though, The Parallax Method combine this ultra-modern prog style with old school classic rock tones, genuinely interesting songwriting surprises and refreshing melodic overtones.
No strangers to the independent scene following tenures in previous bands; Emperor Chung, Spirytus, Breed 77 and Isolysis, guitarist Danny, bassist Ben and drummer Dave eventually decided to unleash their special blend of modern prog on the world and haven't looked back since.
Their debut EP The Owl was released in 2015 followed up with part two The Squid in May of 2017. Their debut album is due to be released soon.
We are very excited to be returning to the UK’s premier Metal Festival. Back in 2015 Bloodstock took a chance booking an instrumental prog band for the Jaegermeister stage, which we are eternally grateful for. It was bassist Ben’s first show with us and the start of our journey together so it is an absolute honour to be back where it all began and playing the Sophie Stage. The Sophie Lancaster Foundation is a cause close to our hearts and something we’ve been proud to support in all our previous bands too. The atmosphere and vibe at Bloodstock is one of a kind! We can’t wait to play!
