Semistereo emerged from the deafening silence of the sloughy land, under the heavy smoke of Amsterdam and right next to where massive flying machines find their temporary home.
The recent album is called Zabriskii, a mysterious name to a bold selection of songs that cover the entire sonic spectrum of the band. The title might contain a subtle reference to the desolate place in Death Valley, where beauty and decay meet. The album Zabriskii is self-produced, recorded at the band’s own studio and at e-Sound studio by Thomas Cochrane. The album is mixed by Guido Aalbers (the Gathering, Muse, Miss Montreal, Coldplay), and mastered by the great Andy Vandette, who contributed to many albums by artists like Beastie Boys, Rush and Porcupine Tree.

Semistereo can best be described as a refreshing crossover between Post and Progressive Rock.  Strong melodies, organic grooves, atmospheric soundscapes and biting voluminous eruptions are the ingredients. At times whimsical and unpredictable, but always "in your face".

Semistereo is: Paul Glandorf (vocals), Martijn Weyburg (guitars, backing vocals, programming), Frank Weijers (guitars), Marcel van de Graaf (drums, percussion) and Max Mastrangeli (bass, piano). Semistereo has been tried and tested on stages and festivals at home and abroad, such as Prog Power Europe, Mixtream, the Boerderij Zoetermeer and Paradiso Amsterdam. In the media the band is compared with, among others, Oceansize, Karnivool, Deftones and A Perfect Circle.
