About the Music

We seek to create music, art, and galaxy-sized stories that entertain, awe, and inspire a sense of wonder.

Our goal is to breathe new life into the progressive metal genre and create something truly unique...and music is only the beginning!


"Fast-paced and eclectic guitarwork accompanied by powerful bass embodying the fundamental frequencies combine with technical polyrhythmic percussion and violent, belting vocals which flow seamlessly into ethereal melodic passages: 

These, my friends, are the trademark sounds of Ellimist"


ELLIMIST IS: Anthony Lewis: Guitar/Vocals Ben Paden: Percussion Justyn Fogarty: Bass FOR FANS OF: Gojira, Devin Townsend, Opeth, Imperial Triumphant, Dream Theater, Wilderun, Seven Spires, Fractal Universe, Revocation, Exist, Dethklok  


We are not afraid to go where others won't, blending genres and making music that transcends boundaries.

It is for that reason that we've played so many diverse shows, with hip-hop artists, funk bands, progressive acts, rock bands, hardcore/punk shows, and everything in-between.

 

Our aim to exemplify that we are all part of the same story.  



We started by telling the story of the Ellimist: a being beyond the very reaches of space and time itself, inspired by KA Applegate's The Ellimist Chronicles. If you haven't yet, go read it! 


Now, we aim to tell new stories featuring original characters, and have begun the impossible work of creating our own universe

Ellimist is currently playing live in support of our debut album, building our brand and growing our fanbase, We are now booking shows in the northeastern USA and beyond! We are also hard at work on a follow up album titled Devastation of the Large Magellanic Cloud, and the corresponding science fiction novel titled Cyr the Destroyer
