Compound Chemistry (UK/PT)

Compound Chemistry is a fusion project whose name does justice to the music they make. A product of divergent music influences and backgrounds, here is where jazz and metal meet and create its own identity. After over a year with shows in Portugal and UK and a live recording at Strongroom Studios, the trio is now working on their debut album. Inspired by bands and artists like Led Zeppelin, Silk Sonic and Tigran Hamasyan , the trio can be seen as the perfect son of Tool and Julian Lage. The first single is expected to be released in late October
