Sunder by RO1
Renowned for his technical prowess on the keyboard and his style of synth driven progressive metal, RO1’s compositions push the limits of what’s possible on keys wth djenty riffs and shreddy solos.
'Sunder' is his most ambitious and cohesive work to date, with a unique take on the guitar-dominated world of progressive metal and djent.
Out November 29, 2025, the album features guitarist Lulu De La Rosa, and showcases guest appearances from Rohan Stevenson (I Built The Sky) and Toby Peterson-Stewart (The Omnific), delivering exceptional performances from some of the most respected names in modern prog. The record is topped off with a polished, heavy, and punchy mix and master by Tom Waller.
'Sunder' takes the idea of leading with synths in metal to a whole new level.
