SEASONS: the cyclical changes of the atmospheric patterns within nature.

And so it is with the Auckland-based band of the same name - pattern-shifts and changes in the atmosphere. Fusing jarringly heavy grooves with progressive trickery and smash-mouth rhythms with eclectic expressionism, the West Auckland natives - known as Resporn since their inception at the turn of the millenium - represent an inventive and dynamic tour-de-force in modern New Zealand metal. Having released their first full-length 'Divisionary' in 2011 under the Resporn moniker, Seasons have continually sought to reinvent themselves and avoid the creative stagnation that spells the death of many a metal band. To this end, the band have changed not only their name to more accurately reflect their change of vision, but the breadth and depth of their musical focus. The approach has paid off, with their latest material securing the principal support slot for Between The Buried And Me and Animals As Leaders during their co-headlining tour of New Zealand, as well as performing with rising Australian metalcore luminaries Thy Art Is Murder in addition to the many New Zealand metal heavyweights the band have shared the stage with to date.

With this new material now honed live and demoed, the time has arrived for some of the most striking and original metal material to emanate from New Zealand shores to date to take the form of a full-length album; one which is tentatively due to be released in early 2014. The album will reflect the many years of grind and toil, of searching and perfecting a unique sound, that embodies what Seasons has become today, and showcases a band exhibiting fine-tuned mastery over their musical niche.
