ニュージーランドの首都出身のバンドGrey Skies over Raptureが、プログレッシブ・デス・メタル・ジャンルの3曲入りEP『Kings』をリリースした。12分間のこのリリースはメロディックな要素を特徴とし、2013年以来の低露出ながら感情の幅広さで注目を集めている。レビューではその雰囲気が称賛されているが、ミキシングの問題も指摘されている。
Grey Skies over Raptureは、ニュージーランドの首都を拠点に2013年に音楽シーンに登場したが、月間リスナーが10人未満、Bandcampのフォロワーも最小限という低い知名度を維持している。彼らの最新EP、Kingsは、プログレッシブ・デス・メタルへの簡潔な参入を果たし、わずか3曲で合計12分という構成だ。バンドは自身をメロディック・デス・メタルと形容しており、これはレビュアーが指摘するジャンル融合の特徴と一致している。
