Hailing from Chicago, instrumental progressive metal outfit, Outrun the Sunlight, has been creating music since 2011. Inspired by the likes of The Contortionist, Cloudkicker and Caspian, the group has strived to combine strong soaring melodies, complex rhythms, and compelling dynamics into songs that elicit emotional and euphoric responses from audiences.

Their newest album “A Vast Field of Silence” is no exception, and includes some of the band’s most ambitious yet mature writing to date. Their follow-up, a re-issue of their debut album, uniquely titled “The Return of Inertia 2.0” shows the bands heavier side, a la early Animals as Leaders, but breathes new life into songs they originated from. The brainchild of guitarist

Austin Peters, the group includes Phil Kalas on bass, Luke Angle on drums, Ken Stebliy on guitar, and Kyle Kunkler contributing synths and soundscapes to the groups atmosphere.
