Australian Progressive Metal/Hard Rock band Age of Emergence released the third single/lyric video, Ascender, from their EP The War Within Ourselves. The EP was released on 27 March 2020. The band was supposed to tour around Australia last year but COVID destroyed their plans. New tour dates are in the works and the band is working on writing new material. Stay tuned.
The bands states: “Ascender is the third single from our sophomore EP release “The War Within Ourselves”out in 2020….this song explores more positive themes than the previous two singles, its main concept lies in the idea that digging deep to find a positive path and nurture your own self-evolution is the way forward in these chaotic times we live in, to trust your intuition and inner voice, repelling the negative forces and influences that surround us.”
Age of Emergence formed in the Australian Newcastle region in 2013 by ex-Shambhala members Dean Holmes and Allan Hofer. They teamed up with Order of the Dragon guitarist Matt Neilson. After many free form jam sessions, a set of originals began to take shape. Home recording started and after much practice and tweaking sounds and equipment the first demo was released on Soundcloud. After a year of gigging locally the band recorded their first EP in 2017 and in 2020 they followed up with the new release The War Within Ourselves. The Band is currently working on new material.
