While the statement of their collaboration with Bob Katsionis' Symmetric Records is just a few weeks old, atmospheric/progressive metallers Mask of Prospero - based in Athens, Greece - are finally able to share all the details concerning their upcoming debut album.The album is titled "The Observatory" and its official release date is set to be on April 16th 2018..

The album will be available as a 6-page Digipack & booklet (mainly through visiting symmetricrecords.bandcamp.com) . Then follows the album's release in the pioneer form of an ICON DISC for iPhone & Android phones/tablets. The album's cover and artwork were designed by the band's guitarist Nick Letsios.

A few words from the vocalist and main lyricist, Christos Kontoulis, concerning the lyrical content and the band's creative approach:

"We tried to create an emotionally heavy album that reflects on how modern civilization is plagued by social prejudice, passiveness and indolence that weight every individual, numbing him from any thoughts or emotions. We experimented with ambient sounds and intense "wide" melodies, including a variety of musical influences, from post-rock to heavy djent rhythmic parts and complex grooves. Our main goal was to create an emotionally charged atmosphere and with the invaluable assistance of our producer Bob Katsionis we delivered an album for which we are extremely proud of, not only for the technical aspects but also for the artistic ones. We believe that we achieved to present a first taste of our characteristic sound that will continue to evolve."

"The Observatory" is the third in a row release for Symmetric Records, following TERRA INCΩGNITA's "Fragments Of A Ruined Mind" second album and the fifth solo album of  Bob Katsionis himself, titled "Prognosis & Synopsis".

The newly established "Symmetric Records", a record label run by busy musician and producer Bob Katsionis, who has just announced the beginning of its collaboration with Athens-based modern atmospheric progressive metallers MASK OF PROSPERO!

Their debut album will be released on March 11th 2018 alongside a live performance of the band in Athens and it will be available as a digipak and also in the form of an icon-disc, a pioneering format which brings the experience of listening to an album in every iOS/Android based device!

"We are really happy for our collaboration with Symmetric Records, not only because we know and trust Bob (to whom we also trusted the production of our album), but also because we want to be one of the first bands to release their music as an Icon-Disc! In addition to that, there is a notable transparency in financial agreements between us and Bob and we also know that he will do the best possible for us, without false promises. We are looking forward to the release date!", says the band.

Bob states that "Mask of Prospero is a band that I really wanted to include in my label’s roster. They are thirsty to create and passionate to work. They are also nice guys and I really prefer working with and helping such musicians to collaborating with a band that may sell more, but I can’t get along with. Their debut album is something that hasn’t been heard before in our country and I will do whatever I can to make this album as successful as possible".

This is the first video from album created by Philip Lycostratis who is responsible also for video clip of Bob Katsioni’s "Dark Matter". The track is titled "Down In Grey" made in the form of a lyrical video found right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_4RVCf7p6s.
