Metastasis by Avith Ortega
After Sinergy I wasn't sure if I was going to make more music of this style, but after receiving messages, emails and support throughout the months I was motivated to make a new album.
Among the artists and works that inspired me to make this type of music over the years, and especially in this style, is Silent Hill, which has a soundtrack unique in its style, and I wanted to continue listening more, until the franchise stopped having what made it great, so I looked for artists that do something similar. This franchise (and its composer) inspired a lot of people to make their own versions of the genre, however there are few who really manage to make something that has the same philosophy and that gives something new, using new sounds, new melodies, new rhythms, without using those that were already used in the games or soundtracks as they usually do, so this motivated me to make music with this style that I wanted to hear more, show my own version of it and as a homage to the series as well. So began my experimentation and creation of albums that I have done so far since 2012.
I hope people can find in my music the same style that characterized the franchise, as well as my own take on the genres, for the people who do not know it and for the ones that wants to hear more.
Thank you for the support.

In search of more downtempo/triphop music that combined elements of loneliness, melancholy, horror and somberness, Avith Ortega set out to make it himself, taking inspiration from his favorite artists such as Massive Attack, Portishead, Akira Yamaoka, among others.
His approach to his albums are made as if they were the soundtracks of a fictional movie or game, creating all kinds of escenarios.
