When an artist resurfaces after years spent in creative immersion, whatever they return with needs to make a statement. This is even more the case when said artist is following up a debut as heavily acclaimed as 2015’s A Dream In Static—a work widely regarded as one of the finest, most attention-seizing debut albums in recent rock and metal music.
New England based Cinematic rock collective Earthside finds themselves squarely in this unenviable position—however, if one song alone could make that critical impression—speaking to the moment, and leaving that heavy feeling of awe churning in the listener’s chest, “All We Knew And Ever Loved” would be that song—unequivocally.
In conjunction with their signing to Mascot Label Group, Earthside returns to the spotlight in the most monumental of fashions. The culmination of years of feverish planning, recording, and detail obsessing, “All We Knew And Ever Loved” offers the first window into the gripping next chapter of the band’s collective story—and the grim scene that awaits humanity in the absence of change.

Pleia is a musical concept created by Nazareth Calmen in 2016 and officially formed in Buenos Aires in 2017 together with Henry Luengo (synthesizers, vocals) and Carlos Delmoral (drums). Inspired by ancestral stories about the self and the cosmos, they fuse rock, metal, and jazz with the power of progressive metal.

The band established itself in the Argentine underground scene and, in 2022, made an international breakthrough by opening for Animals As Leaders (USA), followed by Tesseract (UK) and the first Latin American tour of Cynic, alongside Beyond Creation, in 2023.

In 2024, they released BETORI, a 7-track EP, accompanied by a tour across Argentina and a date in Santiago de Chile. They also premiered three official music videos: “Enolas,” “Pachakuti,” and “TAU II,” and the album was nominated among the best in Ibero-American progressive music by Nación Progresiva.

In 2025, they return with a reimagined version of Enolas by Japanese producer Yuya Miyazaki, performances alongside Chowy Fernández, and the production of their next release scheduled for 2026. With an intense, introspective, and defiant live show, Pleia continues to strengthen its identity in the global progressive scene.
