Strange Land

About Me


Strange Land is a diverse melodic neo-progressive power-trio from Milwaukee, Wisconsin that plays thought provoking rock/metal. As with many original bands the sound of Strange Land is difficult to describe. In the most generic sense the band falls into the progressive rock/metal category, along with such bands as Fates Warning, Savatage, Rush, Zero Hour, Pain of Salvation, and Galactic Cowboys. Strange Land, however, prefers not to wear its influences on its sleeve. Rather, the members blend all of their past experiences and outside musical influences into one unique musical vision.
Strange Land has opened for the legendary King's X , Leviathan Recording Artist Joe Stump , Holographic Records band Acumen , fusion supergroup McGill/Manring/Stevens , Inside Out Prog-Metal band Event , Swedish rock band Fatal Smile , and most recently, Metal Blade Records prog sensation, THREE . Come check them at a live performance when you are in the south-east part of Wisconsin, or stop in at the Sounds Page and let the band know what you think .
