Transience

Based in Melbourne, Transience combines soaring melodies, warped time signatures, crushing grooves and expansive atmospheres to create their own take on progressive rock and metal.

Transience first emerged in 2012, demanding attention with their powerful, energetic and genre-bending live show. 2013 saw them release their self-titled EP, hailed as “a perfect fit within the Aussie atmosphere of bands such as Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus and Breaking Orbit” by international blog, The Undertow, who awarded it number 6 in it’s top 15 EP’s of 2013. Success from the EP spread into a national tour, playing the Showdown, Creepshow and St Kilda Festivals, as well as shows alongside heavy hitters of the Australian scene.

Transience spent 2014 in the studio recording their debut album, Temple, which includes collaborations with some of Melbourne's most talented musicians. Produced and mixed by Phil Threlfall at The Base Studios and mastered by Acle Kahney (TesseracT) at 4D Sounds, the album ebbs and flows in a way that is sure to please any prog fan. Temple was released in 2015 followed up with a national tour. HeavyMag ranked the album "good enough to become a landmark in Aussie progressive heavy rock, and has staked its claim for top albums of 2015 honours".

Ocean is the latest single from Transience, recorded with Adam 'Nolly' Getgood (Periphery) at Echidna Studios in Christmas Hills, Victoria. Transience spent time in the studio with Nolly after Periphery's Australian tour in October 2015. The song sees Transience move in a darker and heavier direction, building on the sound developed in their earlier releases.
