Cage

Cage is a Greek progressive metal band that emerged from Thessaloniki in 2012, blending intricate instrumentation with cinematic flair. Known for their dynamic live performances and conceptual storytelling, the group crafts immersive soundscapes that weave together heavy riffs, orchestral textures, and atmospheric synths. Their discography includes albums like *Ancient* (2019) and *Memento Mori* (2022), with recent releases like *THE WAVES* and *Battleship Live (Metal Prog Suite)* showcasing their knack for balancing raw metal energy with nuanced prog experimentation.

The band frequently collaborates with visual artists to enhance their mythic themes, and their acoustic reworks (like *Words*) reveal a softer, introspective side. Having shared stages with acts like Fates Warning and played festivals like Prognosis in the Netherlands, Cage continues to evolve while staying rooted in progressive metal’s adventurous spirit. Their work often feels like a heady mix of Iron Maiden’s drama and Dream Theater’s technicality, served with distinctly Mediterranean storytelling flair.
