US progressive doom/avant-garde metal solo project Liminal Spirit to release new EP »Pathways« this Friday!

Milwaukee, Wisconsin – »Pathways«, the new EP from one-man progressive doom/avant-garde metal project, Liminal Spirit, is set for a May 9 release on digital format.

Tracklist:
01. Pathways

Genre descriptors get one only so far with »Pathways« though. Multi-instrumentalist/composer, Jerry Hauppa (Northless, Ara, Deorbit), explains that the solo project is “focused on making ‘seance music’ or, in other words, a backdrop suitable for channeling the passage of spirits.”

»Pathways« consists of the single 14-minute title track, depicting five individuals trapped within a maze. It is fully through-composed, meaning there are no repeating parts of any kind until the epilogue. It is composed in a way that brings to mind a stage play, where there are intermissions and the aforementioned epilogue, and the lines of each of the five characters comprise the lyrics. The music will shift in tone throughout the piece to reflect the mood of each speaker.
