The USA-based symphonic/prog metal visionaries The Wave And The Particle have presented the "Legacy" single/video. The track is from the band's impending full-length, Electric Sheep, set for release on 31 January via Wormholedeath.
"'Legacy' reflects on isolation, ambition, and the fragility of what we leave behind, enriched by a nod to Shelley's timeless poetry. Musically, the song evolves from grunge-inspired alt-rock into a slow, crushing heavy metal finale, blending deep guitar riffs with soaring synths. A raw exploration of transformation and finality."
Hailing from Fremont, CA, The Wave And The Particle masterfully fuses post-industrial rock, symphonic metal, and progressive rock into a sound that defies convention. Founded in 2015 by Vasiliy and Katie, the band grew with the addition of guitarist Chandra in 2016, leading to the release of its debut album, Event Horizon (2019).
The line-up solidified in 2021 with the addition of drummer Abhiram and bassist Alessandro, ushering in a new era of creative experimentation. The Wave And The Particle's forthcoming album, Electric Sheep, explores cyberpunk-inspired themes such as transhumanism, globalization, and digital identity, marking their continued evolution as boundary-pushing artists.

"There were already bands doing small illustrations of symphonic metal, and I was thinking, why doesn't someone do this all the time?" - Christofer Johnsson

"We were outsiders, and nobody knew what the fuck was going on. We just listened to this extreme music that nobody else liked, and that made us very strong..." - Mikael Stanne
"We only make an album when we feel genuinely inspired. You can't just say, "OK, I'm going to record a new album", because without inspiration, it would be boring." - Gregor Mackintosh
