Apophis Unleashed: QUADVIUM's Fretless Fury Rattles the Metal Cosmos

https://youtu.be/r_EazhU6NI4

When the tectonic plates of progressive metal shift, you’d better brace yourself. Enter QUADVIUM, the brainchild of low-end warlocks Steve Di Giorgio (Testament, Death) and Jeroen Paul Thesseling (Obscura, Pestilence), who’ve just dropped their serpentine second single, “Apophis”—a track that’s less a song and more a hurricane of fretless virtuosity. Dropping ahead of their debut album Tetradōm (May 30, Agonia Records), this four-piece fusion maelstrom—rounded out by Dutch drum phenom Yuma van Eekelen and guitar sorceress Eve—is here to rewrite the rules. Or, as the bass duo quips, “to slither between soundscapes like a venomous groove.”
 
Ever seen two fretless bassists share a sonic sandbox? Neither have we. Di Giorgio and Thesseling aren’t just noodling here—they’re dueling with the finesse of jazz cats and the ferocity of thrash titans. “Apophis” crackles with what they call “serpentine exchanges,” where labyrinthine basslines coil around Eve’s searing guitar work while Yuma’s drums pivot between precision and chaos. “Think of it as a prog-metal noir,” they smirk. “We’re the detectives; the riffs are the plot twists.”
 
QUADVIUM almost never existed. The bassists toyed with the idea for years, stuck in a “blurry vision” of how to balance two lead fretless voices without stepping on each other’s toes. Enter Yuma, the “master of time signatures” who’d “tame their madness,” and Eve, a guitar prodigy plucked from Instagram’s algorithm abyss. “Her fingers move faster than my morning coffee brew,” laughs Di Giorgio. Together, they’ve forged an album that’s equal parts brainy and brawny—a “musical odyssey” for fans who crave their metal with a side of PhD-level composition.
 
Let’s cut the pretense—instrumental metal can sometimes feel like a math lecture. Not here. Tetradōm is a sonic labyrinth where every turn thrills, thanks to QUADVIUM’s alchemy of technicality and raw emotion. Whether you’re here for the bass wizardry or Eve’s face-melting solos, this isn’t just music—it’s a treasure hunt. And hey, if you’re feeling lucky, Agonia’s tossing in a chance to win Di Giorgio’s signature bass. Just pre-order the album and pray the riff gods smile upon you.
