Inspired by Katatonia, Tesseract, Anathema, Devin Townsend, Coheed & Cambria, Yarmouth, Nova Scotia’s solo atmospheric prog artist MarcDurkee’s music can be described as “a blend of progressive, metal/rock, doom metal, post-hardcore, and post-rock. Durkee’s new album ‘Remain In Stasis’ will be out on out January 18th, 2019 and is loaded with deep meaning to this courageous and talented solo artist.

Durkee adds:
“I’m very happy to share this album with the world. It’s been a lengthy, but an ultimately satisfying process and I’ve learned a lot from it. Hopefully, it will be well received and people will appreciate what I was going for with the diverse mix of songs and styles. I like to also add, that this release is a very a personal one to me. I’ve been stuck in a state of depersonalization for almost five years now. For me, it’s been a chronic symptom of dealing with years of depression and stress, and it’s unrelenting. When it’s at its worst, it removes mostly all motivation and enjoyment from my life. While that is unfortunate, it does serve as a major source of inspiration for my song-writing. The album also serves as second meaning that is more political and universal. I feel that humanity is at a unique point in our history, with technology and social media allowing us to communicate and express ourselves in ways that were previously unimaginable. And yet, nobody really DOES communicate. It seems as though it’s mostly used as a platform to bicker over political ideals and agendas and create discourse, or for anyone to use as their own personal performance venue. Everyone wants to be seen and heard, even those who really don’t deserve to be.”
