Bardic Compass A D&D Inpsired Band Crossover Prog

Bio:
Largely formed out of the glorious geekdom that is Baltimore Maryland's fantasy and tabletop gaming scene, Bardic Compass is the brainchild of Lead Vocalist Carl Hengen and Sound Engineer Artem Bank.

After first meeting in music production circles, and after co-creating/playing in a handful of roleplaying game circles together, the two decided to combine their creative forces towards a new progressive rock project.

After all, if time-honored stories of heroism, discovery, and beauty could be so improved by the introduction of fantasy, why could the same not be true of music? Inspired mostly by the detailed and powerful stylings of progressive rock bands like Coheed and Cambria, Tool, and others, Artem and Carl set off to create a sound that is altogether imaginatively intricate but excitingly approachable, much like the games and comics that draw them together.

With condensed direction and purpose, the group have since linked up with local psychedelic and progressive rock drummer David Wilson (ex: Greasy Hands, Spencer Joyce, Front Royal), and up-and-coming lead guitarist from Texas, Damian Silvas to bring their live show campaign to the East Coast rock circuits and beyond.

Interesting! Thank you so much for the help!

The new suggestions guidance these days also requests a band photo to be provided along with the biography and links to listening samples. I found this one from a search on Google: However,  if you have a different one that you'd like the team to use then please post it here.

Also, I have codes available for the album on Bandcamp, if anyone from the team would like one, please let me know!

Hi. I sent it to Crossover first.
