We want listeners to feel like they&#8217;re going on a journey.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\"><strong>\u2014 Parker Kitching, Vocals<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><br><br><br>Formed through a decade-long bond, Entropist began in 2013 when guitarist\/vocalist Solomon Smith, vocalist Parker Kitching, bassist Jeremy Smith, and drummer Matt Gleason met as college roommates and neighbors in Greeley, Colorado. After years of jamming, drifting apart, and reconnecting during the COVID era, the band solidified its lineup with the addition of guitarist Will Vinson, whose creativity helped elevate the project into its fully realized form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><em>&#8220;The Vision&#8221;<\/em> is a bold, cinematic progressive metal odyssey built on a dual-concept narrative: one story set in a fantastical world of demons, celestial beings, and the void, and another grounded in real-life themes of mental struggle, nihilism, and the search for meaning. Written largely from the perspectives of characters within the story, the album is designed to be experienced from start to finish \u2014 with recurring motifs, callbacks, and evolving themes woven throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">Musically, the record spans progressive metal, djent, deathcore, metalcore, and post-hardcore influences, while maintaining a cohesive identity. Fans of Between the Buried and Me, Meshuggah, Opeth, and The Contortionist will find familiar touchpoints, yet Entropist&#8217;s voice remains distinctly their own. To bring the album&#8217;s massive sound to life, the band partnered with acclaimed producer Jamie King, whose work with BTBAM and The Contortionist helped define modern progressive metal. His mixing and mastering elevated the album&#8217;s intricate compositions into a unified, powerful whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">The band&#8217;s first single, &#8220;Creation,&#8221; introduces listeners to the album&#8217;s final narrative arc. The track blends bright, triumphant chords, intricate rhythms, soaring vocals, and one of the heaviest breakdowns on the record. Lyrically, it explores themes of building something new, forging meaning, and shaping the world one wants to see. The lyric video showcases the song&#8217;s emotional intensity and conceptual depth, offering fans their first immersive step into the universe of &#8220;The Vision.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-995f960e wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br><br><strong>Album Line Up<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Solomon Smith \u2014 Guitar \/ Vocals <br>Will Vinson \u2014 Guitar <br>Jeremy Smith \u2014 Bass <br>Matt Gleason \u2014 Drums <br>Parker Kitching \u2014 Vocals <br>Cecily Meade \u2014 Violin<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br><br><strong>Recording Credits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Produced by: Jamie King <br>Mixed by: Jamie King <br>Mastered by: Jamie King <br>Album Artwork by: Shannon Bortfeldt<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull has-parallax\" id=\"press\"><div class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-56 size-large has-parallax\" style=\"background-position:50% 50%;background-image:url(https:\/\/entropistband.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Show-768x1024.jpg)\"><\/div><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#1c1f1b\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"press\" style=\"position:relative;box-sizing:border-box;overflow:hidden;\">\n  <div style=\"position:absolute;inset:0;background:rgba(0,0,0,0.75);\"><\/div>\n  <div style=\"position:relative;z-index:2;padding:100px 60px;box-sizing:border-box;max-width:1000px;margin:0 auto;\">\n\n    <p style=\"font-size:9px;letter-spacing:0.28em;color:#555;text-transform:uppercase;margin:0 0 60px;border-bottom:0.5px solid #222;padding-bottom:16px;\">Press<\/p>\n\n    <div>\n      <p style=\"font-size:11px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#e06030;text-transform:uppercase;margin:0 0 16px;\">The Prog Space \u00b7 May 5, 2026 \u00b7 Premieres<\/p>\n      <p style=\"font-size:32px;font-style:italic;font-weight:300;color:#fff;font-family:Georgia,serif;line-height:1.3;margin:0 0 30px;\">&#8220;Progressive Newcomers Entropist seek The Vision through Creation&#8221;<\/p>\n      <div style=\"border-left:2px solid #e06030;padding:20px 30px;margin:0 0 30px;background:rgba(255,255,255,0.02);\">\n        <p style=\"font-size:16px;font-style:italic;color:#ccc;font-family:Georgia,serif;line-height:1.8;margin:0;\">&#8220;We are happy to present an exclusive premiere of the lyric video for &#8216;Creation&#8217; right here on The Progspace.&#8221;<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/theprogspace.com\/entropist-creation-single-premiere\/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"font-size:9px;letter-spacing:0.15em;color:#fff;text-transform:uppercase;text-decoration:none;border:0.5px solid #555;padding:12px 24px;display:inline-block;\">Read Full Article \u2192<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music New Single \u2014 2026 &#8220;Creation&#8221; Entropist \u00b7 Progressive Metal \u00b7 Colorado<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/entropistband.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/entropistband.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/entropistband.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entropistband.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/entropistband.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/entropistband.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":186,"href":"https:\/\/entropistband.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12\/revisions\/186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/entropistband.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
