FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Matt Schneider Unleashes Genre-Bending EP "De-Evolution" Out Now!

Guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, and session musician Matt Schneider released his latest EP, De-Evolution , on March 1, 2025. This four-song journey through doom, thrash, dark pop, and progressive rock/metal is a bold statement from an artist who refuses to be confined by genre boundaries.

A well-known figure in the Chicago rock and metal scene, Schneider has spent over 25 years crafting his diverse sound. His impressive résumé includes stints with bands like Catamount, Great Solar Stance, The Cruisers, Mind Chasm, Negligent Genocide, and The Glass Hour. Now, with De-Evolution , he’s channeling his experience and eclectic influences into a solo release that pushes musical limits while remaining undeniably heavy.

De-Evolution delivers intricate, crushing riffs intertwined with haunting melodies, showcasing Schneider’s masterful songwriting and dynamic approach to metal. Fans of Opeth, Katatonia, and Porcupine Tree will find plenty to love in this release.

The EP is available on all major streaming platforms! Stay tuned for more update!
