NEW SINGLE "PART ONE - DENIAL"
from or upcoming EP "Chronicles Left Behind" is OUT NOW

Snippet Upper Laser return in spring 2026 with their concept EP ‘Chronicles Left Behind’: four seamlessly connected instrumental pieces that take listeners on a journey through five and a half years of global and personal turmoil.

The EP follows a clear narrative arc – from curious experimentation to the first cracks in dreams, to pain, anger, and the search for a new perspective. The big bang is followed by emptiness – but also hope for a clear fresh start.

Snippet Upper Laser combine atmospheric synth cascades and guitar motifs, powerful riffs and epic melodies into a musical journey as a soundtrack for all those who feel that music is both a mirror and a fountain of youth. 

The EP's artwork reinforces this idea: a clay figure gazing into the unknown, symbolized by a frosted glass cube.

‘Chronicles Left Behind’ is a reflection on the past and a determined new embarkment.

Cologne's boldest modern prog export "Snippet Upper Laser" are releasing their debut album "Ever Changing Times". This 70-minute long powerboard appears on double vinyl and, of course, digitally. The title originally referred to the changing time signatures in their music. But, that was before all that madness happened. The world stumbled into a pandemic and turned our views of work and life and death upside down. The climate crisis tangibly tightened the noose around our necks. A new war started in Europe. During the same time, both band members had to deal with personal losses. Life feels different now. The times are really changing all the time.
We're every metal head's guilty pleasure 🍩
