Description
Surrey 3 piece OPUS formed in early 2001 and debuted a year later with their 6 track (non-instrumental) EP "Questions". After a year and a half of touring in and around London and supporting bands such as The Datsuns, Kid Galahad and The blueprint OPUS decided to perform an instrumental one off show in their local area Frimley. Much of their set was improvised and the band played their set with total belief in what they were doing that night. From that day OPUS have only ever performed instrumental sets and in 2004 went on to record their self-titled 30 minute, one song EP "OPUS", released by themselves. They have since gone on to develop their distinctive style of heavy, yet melodic instrumentation and have been working to create exciting new material for their latest record "sample aura" . OPUS are very much into heavy music and like to combine this with subtle, softer melodies to create warm and chaotic moods throughout the 30 minute pieces. Their influences can be found in artists such as Tool, Mogwai and King Crimson. "sample aura" is the bands 3rd studio EP and is released on 10th March 2006 Pub Bands, Live music, gigs, England, Scotland, Wales, UK
