Flitcraft - 'Our Long Journey to the Middle' (official album stream)

Flitcraft: hard & heavy μουσικό συγκρότημα / τρίο εξ Αυστραλίας. Δημιουργήθηκαν προ τριετίας από τον Phillip T. King (τον οποίο γνωρίσαμε μέσω των Galaxy) και μας συστήνονται κάπως έτσι:

«Flitcraft is the personal project of hard rock / heavy metal musician Phillip T. King. Last seen on vocals and guitar in 70’s influenced psych-rockers Butterfly, and on vocals in traditional / speed metallers Galaxy, King’s new project falls somewhere in between those previous musical adventures. It’s hard rock with quirk, traditional heavy metal with a twist. Part heavy and part lite, part psychedelic and part progressive; Flitcraft is strange, yet familiar music, for strange, yet familiar times.»

Το ντεμπούτο τους ("Our Long Journey to the Middle") κυκλοφόρησε πέρυσι με τον διάδοχό του να βρίσκεται προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "House at the Centre of the Universe" και αναμένεται στα τελειώματα του επόμενου μήνα. Στην παρούσα ανάρτηση θα εστιάσουμε στο ντεμπούτο τους, το οποίο σας παρουσιάζουμε προς ακρόαση...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Pitch Black Records is pleased to announce the addition of Australian progressive rock / heavy metal act Flitcraft into its artist roster and the release of the band’s second album, “House at the Centre of the Universe”, out on April 28th.

Flitcraft is the personal project of hard rock / heavy metal musician Phillip T. King. Last seen on vocals and guitar in 70’s influenced psych-rockers Butterfly, and on vocals in traditional / speed metallers Galaxy, King’s new project falls somewhere in between those previous musical adventures.

It’s hard rock with quirk, traditional heavy metal with a twist. Formed in 2020, the band is a result of King having more time in lockdown to gather his own favorite songs he had written and wanted to record over the years.

With help from powerhouse drummer Jack Phillips the first Flitcraft album (“Our Long Journey to the Middle”) was released in early 2022, exuding heavy metal energy with undertones of psych and prog rock. The band then began playing shows around their hometown, Melbourne, and quickly finished work on a follow up record, including the addition of bass player extraordinaire Zac Halpin.
