Washington D.C. Instrumental Duo STELLAR DEATH have released new ambient EP Knowledge of Enceladus on
Bravemusic , the band's own label. The music was inspired by Saturn’s ice moon ‘Enceladus,’ and takes you on an almost meditative sonic journey, as if you are exploring its frozen, reflective surface firsthand.
Stream/Purchase EP:
The band released the following statement concerning the new EP:
"First and foremost, thank you for supporting our music over the past year and for all of the great feedback on our debut album Fragments of Light .
You never know what to expect when forming a new music project, and the response so far has exceeded our expectations.
We’d now like to introduce you to our new ambient EP Knowledge of Enceladus . As with our debut full-length, this music was written based on particular ideas and themes within astronomy; specifically, Saturn’s ice moon ‘Enceladus.’ We wanted to narrow our focus on this recording, and really consider the vibe and atmosphere (no pun intended) of this incredibly reflective moon. It is thought that Enceladus could even host life within its icy surface.
While this EP is mostly ambient, we are not necessarily veering in this direction overall. In fact, we are working on another full-length which ventures back to our metallic roots, delving even more into the post-progressive aspects of our debut. More to follow on this as progress is made. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy Knowledge of Enceladus ."

BIO :
STELLAR DEATH is a Washington, DC-based instrumental music project for the varied influences and inspirations of members Scott Loose and Matt Kozar. The two have collaborated musically for nearly 15 years, primarily through their band BRAVE . Although there is much appreciation and love for the music they have created through BRAVE , Scott and Matt sought a path not constrained by the structure and expectations that come with a band that has existed for over 20 years. Their collective desire to create instrumental music that focuses on specific themes, while drawing from their appreciation of film scores, led to the creation of STELLAR DEATH in November 2019. The project affords them the ability to fully explore different musical landscapes and sonic textures. Thus far they have dabbled with ambient and electronic soundscapes, embraced and elaborated on their progressive rock foundations, and further explored the tension and dynamics of post rock and post metal. STELLAR DEATH has only just started to venture into new and exciting musical areas that attempt to merge all of these varied influences into a unique experience for the listener.
