A Cosmic Trail

A COSMIC TRAIL is a German heavy prog band based in Gundelsheim and founded by guitarist Markus ULLRICH, keyboardist Richie SIEBEL, and bassist Alexander PALMA. The band is entirely instrumental and wields a unique blend of progressive metal structures, post rock atmospheres, and heavy riffs that mesh with melodic instrumentation.
The band released their debut album The Outer Planes in April 2010 to great success in the musical and critical world. The music was popular among fans of heavy music that had a heavy, brooding atmosphere rather than just a crushing one. The band was then joined by drummer Klaus ENGL and the new band recorded their second album, II: Mistral, in 2013 to equal success.
The band's sound is something akin to a more riff-oriented LONG DISTANCE CALLING and will resonate with fans of post metal that is less about metal and more about atmosphere.
