Escape Samsara Cycle is a musical experience that explores the depths of the human mind transcending beyond reality and belief.
Their music may vary from multiple influences, taken from '90 Alternative rock and shoegaze to modern progressive rock mixed with acoustic guitars and electronic approach.The band started around 2015 when Max Lajeunesse started writing and crafting the sound of the first album ''A soundtrack to your Escape''. As the DIY recording journey began, he found other bandmates and Pierre Adam Bouchard as a producer to create the sound of ESC and the first album finally came out in 2018.After a few local gigs and some line up changes, the construction of the 2nd album started when the band finally built their own recording studio. The new members were getting more creative and serious about their music and the recording process then took a huge step forward.Being featured as an easter egg in the famous game ‘Borderlands 3’ and releasing a very first video clip for the 2nd album were great achievements added to their portfolio. ESC released an 8 songs album, named ‘The Awakening’.Former member Lajeunesse decided to go back alone to his home studio, spending hundreds of hours alone finding new approaches to develop his producer skills to realize his true vision of what his music should be.A first single came out called Storms. A leftover of the latest LP was his first real full solo production assisted by session drummer Alex Menard.Finally assisted by new fellow musicians, the band is back with a 36 minutes length album pushing the boundaries of the band sound.
‘Mystic Mountains’, ESC’s forthcoming third LP is coming at the end of 2023. Bringing the listener into a drifting psychedelic trip through mountains, deserts, human mind and places that go beyond sky and reality.Actual Members
