🕯️ Kassiopeia Manifesto
We didn’t form this band to make background noise.
We formed it to say something—with weight, with intention, and with volume.
Kassiopeia is about clarity through chaos. About building something emotionally resonant from the fewest possible moving parts. No filler. No over-layering. No backing tracks to cover up the cracks.
🎸 One Guitar, One Bass, All Heart
Our sound starts with a single guitar and a grounded bassline. That’s it.
We write with the understanding that every note, every chord voicing, and every shift in root movement matters.
- No second guitar to hide behind.
- No safety net of digital doubling.
- Just interplay, tension, and trust between strings and skin.
🎙️ No Clean Vocals. No Pretty Edges.
We don’t filter our emotions through pop hooks.
We scream them raw.
From strained shouts to blackened highs and guttural lows, every vocal is a real-time reaction—sometimes fractured, sometimes violent, but always honest.
🔥 Live = Real
We believe in honest live shows.
No laptops hidden in the back.
No four extra instruments ghost-playing behind the PA.
If you hear it on stage, it’s coming from a real hand, foot, or throat.
Backing tracks have their place—but this isn’t it.
We’d rather miss a cue than fake a moment.
🌑 Minimal Parts, Maximum Tension
We don’t layer endlessly—we carve with restraint.
By leaving space in our arrangements, we let the contrast do the heavy lifting:
- Fast vs. open
- Bright vs. dissonant
- Melodic vs. violent
The tension between those extremes is the sound.
🧭 Where We’re Going
This band was born from trial and recalibration. From failed demos and discarded arrangements. From wanting more than what we were hearing in the scene.
We’re not here to revive anything or recreate anyone.
We’re here to make music that feels alive, and we’re going to play it like it matters.
Thanks for listening.
Stay with us.
