Australian instrumentalists Mad Vantage unveil their debut single Pervade Your Mind - led by award-winning composer, keyboardist and synthesist SOLUNE.

Pervade Your Mind is a meticulously crafted track that embodies the creeping psychological influence of artificial intelligence. The track’s uneasy atmosphere is crafted through odd metric groupings, diminished harmonic motifs, and an intergalactic tonal palette - all held together by the kind of danceable, head-nodding grooves that have become a signature of SOLUNE’s compositional voice.

“There’s a sense of psychological manipulation embedded in this track,” says SOLUNE. “The harmonic tension, the rhythmic discomfort - it all plays into the idea that something (Artificial Intelligence) is slowly but surely encroaching on our lives. And yet, there’s still a pull to move with it; to let it in.”

A standout track from the upcoming album MINUTIAE., ‘Pervade Your Mind’ exemplifies Mad Vantage’s fearless sonic identity: part prog-metal, part nu-jazz, part electronic - always rhythmically intricate and groove-forward. It’s music that moves both mind and body, informed by jazz’s improvisational roots and metal’s relentless physicality.

Mad Vantage has already drawn comparisons to Animals As Leaders, Tigran Hamasyan, The Omnific, and Hiromi, while the bandleader SOLUNE has earnt accolades which include the APRA Professional Development Award (2025) and the MIJF Take Note Leader (2025). With early support from The Age, Beat Magazine, and national festivals, SOLUNE and Mad Vantage are fast becoming a powerful new voice in the progressive instrumental scene.
