URSA is a progressive metal 5-Piece from Limburg, Belgium, combining gut-punching riffs with whirling time signature changes, atmospheric melodies and roaring vocals. The wide range of influences spanning from modern progressive metal to post-rock and post-metal delivers an ever-surprising cocktail listeners are sure never to forget.

The band sprung into existence as an instrumental solo-endeavor by ex-Horses Blew Fire frontman Alexandre Belli who was quickly joined by his old bandmates Staf Wouters on bass and Niels Valkeners on drums as well as Luciano Monsegue on guitars. The last puzzle-piece was found in 2023 when Jan Buekers (ex-Sons of a Wanted Man) added his vocals to URSA's sonic arsenal.

After an explosive first year with this full lineup, setting on fire stages all over Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, URSA is now set to release their first album on march 15th.
