   Title: Spires - Progressive (Death?) Metal
Spires are a four piece Progressive Metal band, based in Manchester, UK, formed in 2008, and initially the brainchild of vocalist, guitarist and producer Paul Sadler. Musically, comparisons are often made to Opeth, Emperor, Mastodon and Cynic; however this barely touches on the kaleidoscope of influences, both metal and otherwise, that combine to deliver a truly original, mesmerising and often transcendental sound.

Spires released their critically acclaimed debut album, 'Spiral of Ascension' in November 2010, followed by 2012’s equally praised acoustic mini-album, ‘Lucid Abstractions’. These were both accompanied by extensive touring in UK and Europe, including 2 appearances at Bloodstock Festival.

In October 2014 they announced their signing to Eulogy media, and successfully funded a Kickstarter campaign for the pressing and mastering of their second album, entitled ‘The Whisperer’. This was released in November 2014, and has very quickly garnered huge amounts of international praise from critics. The band has spent the last few years completing several tours in support of the album, honing their live show into something truly special.

A couple of line-up changes in 2017 resulted in a newly invigorated outfit, featuring renowned drummer Zac Oneil (ex Criminal/Agonyst), and Dan White (Ascent) on guitar, alongside founding member Alex Jolley on bass. Recording for the third full length album is complete, and the band will be releasing their third full length album, 'A Parting Gift' in September 2018.
