After years of playing in various bands, touring and several releases, ALIGNED became a creative outlet for its founding members. Driven by influences such as Anathema, Coheed and Cambria, Katatonia and Devin Townsend to name a few, the vision was to create music without boundaries and limitations. This creative freedom allowed the band to safely explore the realm between alternative metal and progressive rock with a touch of atmospheric melodies and a healthy dose of melancholy.
