“Founded by vocalist/songwriter Mark “Truey” Trueack (United Progressive Fraternity) and multi-instrumentalist Sean Timms (Southern Empire, Damanek, UPF) in 1996, Australian sextet Unitopia have always been among the most renowned and distinctive bands of their ilk and era.
That’s true not only because of their engrossing, intricate, and vivacious blend of prog rock, jazz, classical, heavy rock, and world music, but also because of their contemplative examinations of universal topics such as human relationships, political/social turmoil, and environmental awareness. Be it their relatively concise statements (2005’s More Than a Dream and 2010’s Artificial) or their most expansive endeavor (2008’s The Garden), each Unitopia record delivers richly colorful and complex music alongside rewardingly through- provoking commentaries and introspections.
That said, the band has undoubtedly reached new creative, emotional, and intellectual heights with their latest opus, Seven Chambers (their first original collection on independent label Progrock.com’s Essentials).
Comprised of seven tracks and lasting just over eighty minutes, it’s an incredible journey that finds Unitopia returning at the peak of their artistic and technical prowess.”
