Ethereal Architect is a new design of progressive metal. The five-piece draws from a diverse array of influences to forge a distinctive sound that is both poignant and intricate. Their technical precision and addictive melodies are winning crowds over throughout central Texas.

Formed in the Fall of 2005 by guitarist David Glass and bassist Darby Wen, Ethereal Architect wasted no time in creating a demo to showcase their unique blend of metal. The vocal duties were handled by talent from various local musicians, as to avoid defining the band's sound by what would be a temporary singer. A Mindivided's Adam Contreras agreed to lay down vocals on the track "Nevermore," and after thoroughly impressing the band with his performance, was asked to become a permanent member. During the recording process, Barney Cockburn responded to an ad and also joined the folds on guitar.

The search for a drummer continued over the next year until finally, after having a couple members in and out, Jake Koenig signed on to create what is now the current lineup. The band played its first show in August 2006, and has been turning heads since. They entered Firestation Studios in March 2007 to begin recording their full-length, debut album. Always striving to achieve the delicate balance between memorable hooks and complex arrangements, this band will stop at nothing to leave their mark upon the world.
