Apparitions

The trio of Andrew Dugas, Igor Imbu, and Grant Martin are Apparitions. A holy trinity of drums, guitar, and modular synthesis combine to create the unholy and glorious wall of droning sound that defines the group. Their debut, Eyes Like Predatory Wealth (2022), employed an experimental recording approach – citing composer Witold Lutosławski’s 

technique of limited indeterminacy – wherein each artist recorded their part individually without being able to hear what the other members were doing. Their latest album, Volcanic Reality (2025) earns its namesake, as it spews ash and quakes foundations with its snarling drone metal brilliance. In moments, like the track "Résiduel," their cataclysmic percussion and distortion-drenched guitar simmers out so that beaming shimmers of ambience can shine through like sunbeams through mist. But it's not long before the group's fuzzy droning cacophony reemerges, as the ground shifts and a new molten eruption cascades forth. Apparitions will make their European debut at Rewire 2026.
