META-STASIS

META-STASIS

META-STASIS is a death metal group from Gibraltar, active since 2004. It begins as a collaboration between Jason Pincho, Nicholas Barboon of Ted Maul, and Jeremy, also known as Solomon from Ted Maul, with Dan Foord of SikTh later joining as the final member. The band moves from Gibraltar to the UK as it develops, and its sound combines precise, mechanical extreme metal with dark industrial textures, alongside the influence of Ted Maul’s brutality and SikTh’s technical style.

Style and themes

The group’s music mixes death metal, technical death metal, deathcore and industrial death metal. Its lyrics cover subjects that include disease, pathological change, war, terror, serial killers, psychopaths and religion. The band presents itself as focusing on the boundary between life and death, and on the physical reality of pathogens and anatomy.

Members and background

The line-up described for META-STASIS includes Solomon on vocals, Nicholas Barboon on bass, Jason Pincho on seven-string guitar, and Dan Foord on drums. Solomon remains based in London, while the other members relocate to the UK from Gibraltar. The project is presented as the result of a shared aim to create extreme metal with a blend of technical and industrial elements.
