Argonauta Records Inks Deal With Kynesis

Italian post-metal act Kynesis signed on with Argonauta Records. The band's new record "Pandora" will be issued this year, with further details to be revealed soon.

Kynesis was born in Turin from the ashes of a previous project to search a different and innovative sound, drawing influences from bands such as Cult of Luna, Pink Floyd, My Dying Bride, Deftones, Mogwai and Isis.

The project has collaborated with various musicians from Turin. Today the singer is Ivan Di Vincenzo, who shares the guitarist role with Luca Braga; rhythmic section consists of Giacomo Grillone on bass and Fabio Losano on drums.

In 2014, after releasing a live CD, the band started to work on the first full album "Kali Yuga," critically acclaimed for its eclectic sounds. The band made a promotional tour sharing the stage with many bands such as Forgotten Tomb, The Great Old Ones and Mortuary Drape.

"Pandora" is about the Greek myth but transposed into the present day. The theme of hope is told through decadent tunes, dilated times and Italian lyrics. Recordings and mixing took place at Alarm Studio by Alessio Sogno, arranger also of synthesizer tracks. Mastered by Magnus Lindberg (Cult of Luna).
