Asymmetric Universe

Asymmetric Universe is an Italian progressive metal duo from Turin, consisting of brothers Federico (guitar, vocals) and Nicolò Vese (bass, double bass), with Gabriele Bullita on drums. Since forming in 2018, they’ve crafted a unique fusion of aggressive metal intensity and rich jazz harmonies, blending genres like modern prog metal, jazz fusion, avant-garde jazz, and chamber orchestration. Their interplay highlights Federico’s intricate guitar work influenced by fusion and metal, and Nicolò’s jazz-rooted bass style, creating a dynamic and balanced sound that thrives on contrast and complexity.

They released their debut full-length album, *A Memory And What Came After*, on August 29, 2025, via InsideOutMusic, showcasing a mature, refined vision that combines virtuosic metal riffs with melodic accessibility and diverse instrumentation including winds, strings, and electronics. The album features collaborations such as a guest solo by Haken’s Richard Henshall on the track “Coquelicot.” Fans of bands like Animals As Leaders, Dream Theater, and Plini will find Asymmetric Universe’s blend of jazz fusion and progressive metal both engaging and fresh. Their music is available on major streaming platforms and Bandcamp, making them a rising name in modern prog fusion metal.
