Huis is a Canadian progressive rock band hailing from Montreal. Formed in the early 2010s, the group blends an evocative mix of progressive rock, symphonic elements, and a touch of the classic sounds reminiscent of genre giants like Genesis and Marillion. The band's name, pronounced 'house', is a nod to their musical philosophy of creating a space for complex melodies and storytelling within their compositions, much like the walls of a home contain the personal stories of those within.

Their discography is distinguished by intricately crafted concept albums marked by a keen attention to musical detail and lyrical depth. Huis's 2016 release "Neither in Heaven" is a captivating journey through themes of introspection and existential ponderings, showcasing their ability to weave profound ideas into their music. This was followed by "Abandoned" in 2019, a concept album that further cements the band's reputation in the scene with its lush arrangements and emotional resonance. Earlier, their debut album "Despite Guardian Angels" released in 2014, painted a vast and ambitious soundscape that immediately caught the attention of prog rock enthusiasts, establishing Huis as a band with a clear vision and a passion for storytelling through their music. With an emphasis on strong melodies, intricate instrumentals, and thoughtful lyrics, Huis has continued to carve out their unique identity in the modern progressive rock landscape.
