**Wheel** is a Helsinki-based progressive metal band formed in 2015, known for their intricate rhythms, thought-provoking lyrics, and dynamic soundscapes. Fronted by British vocalist/guitarist James Lascelles, the group—which includes Santeri Saksala (drums), Aki Virta (bass), and Jussi Turunen (guitar)—blends Tool-inspired grooves with modern prog-metal intensity. Their releases, like the 2021 album *Resident Human* (featuring “Preserved in Time”) and earlier tracks such as “Icarus,” tackle themes of societal collapse, existential dread, and human resilience. Wheel’s music balances technical precision with raw emotion, earning them a dedicated following in the prog scene. They’ve toured with acts like Soen and Apocalyptica and signed with Odyssey Music Network in 2023, hinting at new horizons for their evolving sound.
