VIPASSI have been carefully unlocking a mystery. The Australian quartet’s new album, Lightless, explores all sorts of twisted phenomena, from the hooded ritual of “Phainesthai“, the distorted maze of “Labyrinthine Hex” to the star-gazing mastery on “Morningstar“.
Today, these transcendent masters of instrumental narratives stream their upcoming album Lightless in full over on the Season of Mist YouTube channel.

Lightless comes out this Friday, January 26 on Season of Mist.

“VIPASSI really have managed to take the prior achievements of their debut and interlace them with fresh ideas and approaches that show a massive development in their sound.” wrote Distorted Sound, who gave the album a 9/10.
It’s no wonder that VIPASSI can spin epic stories without uttering a word. As a purely instrumental band, they’re blessed with a telepathic chemistry.
Watch as they weave as one through this playthrough of recent single “Labyrinthine Hex”.
As well as being instrumental masters, VIPASSI have also crafted intricate narratives on their first single “Phainesthai” with a video shot, directed and edited by Jack Fontes.
