The pair have also revealed an impressive guest lineup featuring Periphery‘s Adam “Nolly” Getgood and acclaimed melodic maestro Jack Gardiner, setting the stage for what could be one of the most technically impressive releases of the year.
The 20+ minute prog metal journey explores the concept of movement in relation to human experience, showcasing the unique chemistry between these two guitar heavyweights. Their distinct playing styles converge to create a dynamic listening experience packed with soaring leads, intricate rhythms and cinematic soundscapes.
Adelaide’s KEYAN has been making serious waves in the global guitar community through his growing social media presence, bridging the gap between viral content and genuine musicianship. His technical prowess has earned him endorsements from major brands and touring spots with some of progressive metal’s biggest names.
Meanwhile, across the pond, the UK-based Connor Kaminski has been building his reputation as a composer and producer with a fresh approach to modern prog metal.
Drawing influence from Dream Theater, Devin Townsend and Intervals, his innovative guitar work has cultivated a dedicated online following and established relationships with premium gear manufacturers.
The EP’s first single Swell delivers exactly what fans would expect – a technical masterclass that sets the bar incredibly high for the full release.
With the addition of Periphery’s Nolly, known for his precision production and bass expertise, alongside Jack Gardiner’s jazz-fusion approach to prog, Kinetic is poised to push the boundaries of instrumental progressive metal.
