UXIA Announces Debut Self-Titled Album – A Progressive Metal Odyssey Set to Release May 2nd Digitally, May 24th Physically

Minneapolis, MN – Progressive metal newcomers UXIA are proud to announce the release of their debut self-titled album, UXIA , available on all digital platforms May 2nd, 2025 , with physical copies dropping May 24th via Fable Factory .

Blending the technical prowess of Opeth , the atmospheric depths of Porcupine Tree , and the primal energy of Mastodon , UXIA crafts a sound that is at once aggressive, intricate, and deeply emotive.

UXIA is a five-piece collective whose music transcends genre conventions, interlacing heavy riffs, ethereal soundscapes, and thought-provoking lyrical narratives. Tracks like “Journey to Begin” and “Welcome Holm” dive into the tension between despair and hope, reflecting a profound meditation on the human experience through the lens of nature and existential struggle.

“We want every song to feel like a journey, like the listener is moving through a world that’s as emotional as it is sonic,” the band shares.

The album was meticulously recorded by Will Maravelas at 14:59 and Reed Reimer at Fable Factory , with Reed Reimer also handling mixing and mastering duties to deliver a final product that is immersive, powerful, and sonically rich.

UXIA’s self-titled debut is not just a record—it’s a statement. With a clear vision and relentless dedication to pushing musical boundaries, UXIA invites listeners to join them on a journey of transformation and discovery.

For fans of Porcupine Tree , Opeth , and Mastodon , UXIA offers a captivating and unforgettable progressive metal experience.
