Metal act MEGACOSM has gone on to release to a debut EP, have new music being released every so often, and have played locally every so often too! They went to keep on releasing more music, playing more shows, touring, and much else in-store for them coming soon!

 

1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that?

The band name evolved over the course of writing the first couple songs on our first E.P we wanted something that had an ethereal yet technically vibe, and we wanted something that we could write anything.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

We like technically non formulaic movement and we like heavy music and heavy grooves. We have been inspired by tons of other bands BTBAM, Periphery, Animals as Leaders, TesseracT to name a few.

3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?

Yes! Dylan (drums) and Justin (bass) actually knew each other in high school. Justin and Matt (Guitar) were in a band in the early 2010s and have collaborated ever since. Ben (vocals) and Dylan (drums) played together in a mathcore band called The Awful Din.

4. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?

We’re based out of Phoenix, AZ we have an eclectic scene most shows span multiple genres and the fan base does as well most people listen to a wide variety of music. We have a die hard base of people that attend tons of local shows and support local artists.

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

We like being able to write songs that we want to hear. We like to take old concepts and new concepts and blend them together in a way that we think sounds great.

6. What are your songs about? (What specific themes do they cover?)

We don’t write in a singular category, we draw inspiration from life as a whole. Anything that sparks inspiration, like cool space stuff or even an aspect of living in the modern world can lead to a song. Everything is on the table.

7. Do you write your own songs? (Discuss the songwriting process in detail.)

We do write all our music our basic process for most songs is one of us will have a seed of an idea or even a basic sketch and structure then we run it through the Megacosm machine and get input from everyone and then record it add a little spice in terms of synths strings sound effects etc.

8. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?

We released our debut E.P.  Megacosm: The Movie in June 2024. We have been releasing a single every month or so since then, our next big project is likely going to be a full length album centered on a concept or theme. We have talked about the logistic of making a game to go along with it nothing too ambitious something more like a fun

9. Do you have any new music in the works?

We do have a song on the way called “James Bondage” it’s heavy and awesome and it’s a comic re-imagining of James Bond and the bondage of being trapped in the most basic pattern of tropes and expectations of mainstream entertainment also serving as an allegory for daily life.

10. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?

We play locally about once a month and we release a song once a month. Touring is definitely something we are excited to grow into soon.

11. What plans do you have for the future as a band?

We want to keep releasing more music , playing more, touring, and festivals. We are planning on a full length album that’s going to be more of a concept idea.

12. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?

Our music is streaming on all platforms Spotify, Apple Music, etc. We have an online merch store https://merchcosm.myspreadshop.com/.
