AEDANSKY is the brand-new solo project from Sebastien Chabot, best known as the guitarist & singer of French power metal band Galderia and bassist/composer in Kingcrown alongside ex-Nightmare frontman Joe Amore. After years of touring across Europe, racking up millions of streams and shaping a solid discography, Seb launches a new creative journey -- a return to his roots in speed-driven, uplifting melodic power metal.
"The Universal Realm" is far more than a debut album -- it's a fully realized space opera metal saga telling the story of a cosmic journey toward spiritual awakening and universal consciousness. Written, arranged and produced entirely by Sebastien, the album reflects his personal vision supported by long-time collaborators from the Galderia circle. To bring the story to life, the album features three lead vocalists performing as the main characters: Sebastien Chabot as SKY / Bob Saliba (Kingcrown, ex-Galderia) as AEDAN / Thomas Schmitt (Galderia) as SKY's Soul. Their voices weave together across the songs, creating a rich, theatrical dynamic reminiscent of the classic metal opera format.
The album's mix and master were handled by Simone Mularoni (Rhapsody, DGM, Secret Sphere) at his renowned Domination Studio, ensuring top-tier sound quality. The stunning cover artwork was created by Felipe Machado Franco, known for his work with some of the most iconic bands in the genre. Musically, "The Universal Realm" pays homage to the golden era of late '90s and early 2000s European power metal -- blending fast riffs, anthemic choruses, massive choir harmonies and spiritually charged lyrics. It's a heartfelt tribute to the genre's greats, while carving out a distinct space through its narrative ambition and cohesive artistic direction. This album marks the first chapter in an ongoing saga.
Fans of melodic and conceptual power metal will find in AEDANSKY a fresh, passionate and authentic voice.
