PRESS RELEASE:
Founded in 2020 by Afro-Canadian multi-instrumentalist and world-builder Miguel Marcheterre-Pina, Volubilis first emerged as a pandemic-era solo project before expanding into a full lineup featuring some of Canada’s most promising extreme-metal musicians: André Dubien (vocals), Jacob Collins (drums), Alexis Rioux (guitar), and Shawn Hillman (fretless bass). What began in a bedroom has since evolved into a multidisciplinary, lore-driven creative universe, one that fuses technical death metal, visual storytelling, and ambitious conceptual worldbuilding.
Volubilis shapes their identity through an intricate, hyper-speed, melodic, modern, and fully immersive approach to extreme metal. Drawing from progressive and technical death metal, neoclassical and black metal, metalcore, and even classical and hip-hop influences, the band pushes the genre into bold new conceptual territory. Powered by colossal blast beats, monstrous vocals, and soaring harmonies, "Theasterion" positions Volubilis as one of the most compelling new forces in the progressive and technical metal landscape. Their meticulous songwriting and expansive self-built sci-fi universe reveal a level of ambition rarely seen in a debut release.
“This album represents a significant milestone, not just for us, but for the visibility of Afro-Canadian and BIPOC artists in extreme metal. Theasterion is a legacy project. It’s meant to inspire others to pursue their creative visions, even with limited resources,” says Miguel.
"Theasterion" is a fully conceptual record that follows a sweeping science-fiction narrative. Humanity, no longer able to survive on Earth, colonizes a satellite orbiting the planet Theasterion. When a mysterious monument, the Prism, appears, its glyphs reveal a prophecy foretelling the supernova of the nearest star, Unukhalai. The revelation fractures the colony, igniting political upheaval, a coup d’état, and a desperate expedition to the hostile planet below. There, the explorers encounter the Homo Cumulus, a non-linear anthropoid species evolved beyond human comprehension. As tensions rise and resources collapse, humanity faces extinction long before the cataclysm arrives.
