Nospūn - Opus (Full Album Stream)

[@nikitsuneYT]

Without any exaggeration or hyperbolic sentence, this is the most incredible thing I've listened to in 20 years of love and dedication to metal music.

[@nospun_official]

You are incredibly kind! We spent a long time making this album, so we're very glad it's being appreciated!

[@nikitsuneYT]

Opus made me dance, feel emotional, laugh out loud (earwyrm is the culprit) and, generally speaking, surpised me an indefinite amount of times. I am sharing it as much as possible, even though I don't personally know many people into prog music: I almost missed this release, even though I dedicate all my free time to browsing for new music (and playing drums), what a shame it would have been. Music can be many thing, but in this case it's a testament to human creativity.

[@dmacrolens]

Yeah, it's really nice!

[@ЕвгенийКатков-д5е]

You are the Great band! Are any plans to issue this album ON VINYL? If Yes, when? 👍

[@marcelofeijao8411]

Thank you KZbin algorithm. Sometimes I really like you! Amazing music here guys!

[@signedupfordoconly4275]

I don’t care “who it sounds like”. To me, it’s just what I need in my music. Yes I’m a huge Haken fan (and others) but now I’m a Nospun fan too. Catch my drift? It’s fantastic.

[@creolars]

Not often but sometimes the Spotify algorithm hits the bull's eye and serves me new music right up my alley. This album is an instant contender to the album of the year. Prog-metal with lots of creativity, good melodies, great musicianship and fantastic vocals! As I am getting older I am sadly not blown away by new music as often as before. So this album lifted my sprits. I can still be blown away by new music, it just has to be really good :)

[@johnridge5837]

Well said. I'm in the same boat, as I'm getting older I find it harder and harder to get excited by something new so it's refreshing when something comes along that captures my attention. Well done NoSpun!

[@HeavyMetal-f3c]

As a fan of progressive metal (Symphony X, Dream theater, Vanden Plas, etc...) I can say Nospūn did an exceptional job! What a good creativity! Go on guys!

[@nospun_official]

We love all of those groups, so that's a huge compliment! Thank you!

[@blastizzle]

This is nothing short of incredible. I'm floored! The songwriting shines through the progressive madness brightly, and the production is immaculate. I can't stop listening on repeat, and I can't wait for more!

[@nospun_official]

We self produced, so we're happy to hear you like the sound! Don't you worry 'bout a thing, we're already working on more 👍🏻

[@Pepperdjt]

The Death of Simpson is such a great song

[@nospun_official]

Thank you!

[@eefvreeland9472]

@@nospun_official Ah, you wrote the song ;-)

[@Gabriel-Cabana]

As an amateur singer, I have to command Phil's singing on this debut! The range of clean vocals is already pretty cool, but the expresiveness you can wring out of those vocal cords is awesome! Love the range of emotions on display here.

[@Pepperdjt]

This was an absolute pleasure to listen to

[@nospun_official]

Thanks so much!

[@KnellMortem]

I have no idea how you all did it but over all the years I've been passionate about music this has very quickly skyrocketed to my favorite album of all time. Can't wait to hear more from you guys.

[@Bergtal-u2g]

Das fetzt! Danke an die Hersteller und Gruß aus dem Thüringer Wald.

[@dodoarg]

Best prog record I've heard in what must be years. Some of the melodies are unreal here, no track is underwhelming or feels out of place which is insane for a 70 min album. Been playing it on repeat for the better part of two weeks now. You know prime Haken, Wilderun, Symphony X? This is up there, right off the bat. Please make another one!

[@touch4214]

What a band ! What an Opus ! I'm absolutly FAN ! I hear this album every day since may 2023 ! Masterpiece for life ! Love you guys !

[@stuartjennings9923]

This is the best debut I’ve heard since Native Construct. You can really hear the DT, Haken, SX, Pink Floyd, etc. influences, but you do such a great job of making them into your own sound. Amazing work. I’ve had this on repeat for weeks and can’t wait to see where you guys go!

[@mikereiss4216]

SX = Symphony X?

[@SanEutocioMetalhead]

Native Construct debut is AWESOME, so bad they quit.

[@robertg420]

Opus is the best concept album to come out since Quiet World

[@wifflebat14]

I assume you mean DT to stand for Dream Theater, which is very apt, but it could also be Devin Townsend. Absolutely stunning combination of sounds coming out of this band!

[@ardent_ascent]

HAKEN!!! Let's go!!!!

[@jonclynch5387]

My 13-year-old son has been talking about this new band called Nospun for about a week. "Have you listened to them yet, Dad?" I'm continually asked. Today, I finally did, and....WOW. Absolutely blown away. Epic stuff! Problem is, you guys now have to top that...And I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to offer!!

[@pendragon5573]

It's like Dream Theater, Periphery, The Contortionist and Meshuggah came together to summon this masterpiece. I absolutely love your sound!!!!!!

[@MrDivagation]

As I keep coming back to this album, I tend to think more and more that it's one of the best progressive masterpieces I've heard ! Outstanding work of art !

[@BidBadBod]

Someone suggested this as a fan of Haken, and while I was a little sceptical (comparing a band to Haken is a big thing in my mind) but wow, I was blown away by this album! The comparison to Haken is apt (heck the last track on here could be part of the 22 minute long masterpiece that is the song Visions) but at the same time, there is definitely a unique and fresh sound here. It will take many MANY listens to truly appreciate this, I feel...

[@redhandtheblack]

I'm literally on my first listen as I type this and I'm already so into it, so excited to hear the last track after reading this!

[@ardent_ascent]

Yess!!! Finally a fellow Haken enjoyer here!!!

[@89G]

The outro solo in "and then there was one" is very Petrucciesque. This album is fantastic, keep up the great work!

[@aeons8314]

Wow... I'm always searching Reddit for good prog-metal recommendations and found this... I'm mesmerized... This is going to be on repeat for a long time. What a debut, holy shit!

[@wormytxx69]

I hope this takes you all far in your endeavors as it is incredible. I can hear the players behind the notes. Absolutely applaud! \m/

[@nospun_official]

The players appreciate your kind words!

[@dwaterson21]

This sounds like if Coheed and DT had a baby who listened to Pink Floyd.

[@MetalMann-de3xi]

This is some of the most beautiful music that I've heard in a long time. I couldn't stop listening. Thank you!

[@LurchyScott]

This album is nothing short of incredible guys. I haven't been this blown away by a Progressive Metal debut in quite awhile. You can hear the heart and soul that was poured into this record. I hope people take notice of this because it deserves to be heard by anyone who is a fan of the genre. Kudos gentlemen.

[@nospun_official]

Thank you for your kind words! We definitely feel that we poured a lot of ourselves into the album's creation, so we're glad that comes across!

[@christophercoles4401]

I can't believe that this is a debut album! The amazing musicianship and songwriting are beyond that of any number of veteran bands. I haven't been this impressed by a new band in quite a few years. I can't wait to hear what's next from these guys.

[@kindofkind]

1 month after discovering this album I became completely sure that this is now my favourite album of all. I want more Nospun releases sooo much, thanks for your art! UPD. All the same after 11 months :)

[@EinarGudjonMarinosson]

I cannot believe this is the first time im hearing this album. A year too late but i showed this to all my friends and they were awe stricken how good it is. All the melodies and the atmoshpheric parts just hit right. The Acoustic parts are so original in my opinion its unreal. I would label you guys as Dream Theater meets Opeth and they met with Haken and Devin Townsend came along. They say "you caught a lightning in a bottle" and with this one you definately did. Look forward to hearing what you guys have in store for us in the future > :D

[@EinarGudjonMarinosson]

I was so close but yet so far behind, only 10% alive.

This is so perfect! All songs are great, no exceptions. A roller-coaster of emotions. It surpassed Noveria (aequilibrium) as the best prog album I ve ever heard. Thanks, Nospun.

[@th3gimp17]

Highly recommend for any fans of Dream Theater, Symphony X, Shadow Gallery, and other prog metal bands. This is fantastic stuff! Highlights: Implosion Overture, Earwyrm, Within the Realm of Possibility

after i hear this album, i had the same feeling when i hear dream theater for the first time 18 years ago. and now it happen again. i felt like found a treasure. thanks guys for exist and making this incredible music. now i hope, i can live longer for waiting this band making a journey of music.

[@mikereiss4216]

I'm only into five minutes of listening to this and so far it reminds me a bit of Metropolis part 2: Scenes from a memory

[@betterechoes]

It's like soft Opeth meets Devin Townsend meets a theatrical dream meets a carnival of insanity

[@imptwins]

Okay so this was given to me as a youtube rec, and when I was going through Implosion Overture like semi in the background, I felt maybe this was a bit... TOO weird for me maybe. A little too far on the side of experimentalism vs listenability, y'know? Like, it happens, everyone's at different parts of that scale and that journey. Then Dance with Me pulled me right the fuck back in and Earwyrm knocked my FUCKING TEETH OUT and it was just bliss all the way down and out. I need to give this thing a real, *PROPER* listen later at some 'make out all the details' kinda volumes 'cus holy FUCK the algorithm actually served me some gold here. This is absolutely incredible, y'all are something special as hell and you might wind up being one of my favourite finds for the whole year, I haven't been this impressed by the creativity of an album since I first heard Native Construct. And it was released 10 days after my birthday? You shouldn't have. I'm sorry it took me so long to get to it /j

Incredible! Whole album is a masterpiece. I literally can't stop playing it, it's my favourite album of the moment, and is quite possibly the best sounding recorded music experience in decades. The last time I was absolutely blown away was 27 years ago, when I've heard Images and Words for the first time. Now it's happened again.

@@markwoodrezende1278 Sim, sou brasileiro. Curto demais prog rock/metal e esse disco caiu como uma luva. Um dos melhores do ano até agora. Esse álbum é o primeiro deles com esse nome e formação até onde eu sei, e foi lançado esse ano mesmo.

Was 4D Printing inspired by A Nightmare to Remember? Sounds just like it in parts.

[@nospun_official]

It wasn't intended, but we hear the similarity! Both songs go for that epic black metal vibe in parts, so it stands to reason they might sound alike.

[@SteveTheRockstar]

Just finished this album. I think all I need to say is thank you, Nospun.

[@radioactium]

this album is really amazing, been listening to it over and over recently. I just want to say I love the transition from Implosion Overture to The Death of Simpson, it is so cool how you use that 7 note arpeggio (i think I'm using that word right lol) as a big conclusion to Implosion Overture and then turn around and give it a completely different feel at the beginning of the next song. Might be my favorite part of the album if it weren't for that dialogue in the middle of Within the Realm of Possibility. Good shit all around, can't wait to hear more from you guys. Also that album cover is sick as fuck. Good god this album is a masterpiece.

This is an INCREDIBLE album! The way it tells an emotional story reminds me a little of Ayereon (The Human Equation). Excellent musicianship and composition.
