The Sea Within is an international rock supergroup formed in 2017, composed of an ensemble of accomplished musicians from various segments of the progressive rock world. The band's genesis lies in the collaborative vision shared by Roine Stolt (Flower Kings), Jonas Reingold (Karmakanic), Tom Brislin (Renaissance), Marco Minnemann (Steven Wilson, The Aristocrats), and Daniel Gildenlöw (Pain of Salvation), each bringing a storied background and unique musical influence to the table. Their eponymous debut album, "The Sea Within," released in 2018, was welcomed with open arms by prog-rock enthusiasts, featuring both standard and deluxe editions, with the latter including bonus tracks that showcase the depth and creativity of the ensemble.

The self-titled album is a dynamic foray into the realms of progressive rock and jazz fusion, marked by complex rhythms, sweeping melodies, and intricate instrumental performances. Standout tracks such as "Goodbye" and "Ashes of Dawn" epitomize the band's capacity for crafting expansive, emotional landscapes that traverse serene melancholic passages and soaring crescendos. Their music is characterized by a willingness to explore and blend diverse sonic territories, making The Sea Within as much an homage to classic progressive rock as it is a modern reinvention of the genre. With their debut, The Sea Within has set a high bar for progressive music, building anticipation for what the collaborative project will embark on next.
