post-metal

Newly formed post-metal mathcore Romanian band, the first one of its kind in the land of Transilvania.

Laestrygonia is a 4 piece instrumental band out of Geneva, NY who take their name from an island in Homer's Greek epic, The Odyssey. They formed in the winter of 2010 with the (broad) intent of making instrumental progressive metal. With influences from Cloudkicker to Meshuggah to Year of No Light, Laestrygonia planned to gel pieces of the post-rock, djent, and prog genres into an emotional spectrum of tension and release. Tending to trade technicality for nuance, Laestrygonia invites listeners to look inside and find out what the music is speaking to them personally.

Zach Dresher has played in bands since the day he picked up a guitar, so it only seemed natural that when he moved to Washington DC to attend college and found out that his roommate Paul Mattioli played as well and was also an accomplished producer, some sort of musical venture would be started. Originally known as Aeviternity, the two quickly found drummer Alec Kossoff and vocalist Luka Kerecin to complete the lineup, and started playing shows around the DC area.
