Escherian Stairs
Lucidity’s third album, ‘Escherian’, is a concept album in which the story’s character desperately tries to escape a parallel reality.
The character repeatedly experiences the same moments, unsure of where or when he is.
Despite making progress, he finds himself in the same place over and over again.
The album’s narrative reflects modern times:
“The journey of people through life, often reluctant to see what’s happening around us. Our journey may resemble Penrose stairs – we move forward without questioning our direction, even though we tread the same path day after day.”
Musically, ‘Escherian’ continues the tradition of Lucidity.
The band has maintained openness to a range of influences, spanning from the 70s to the present, encompassing genres from pop to extreme metal, this time drawing a bit more from progressive soundscapes.
‘Escherian’ is set to be released on May 17th and will be available in both physical copy and on digital platforms.

‘Threads To Follow’
music & lyrics by Martti Pohjosaho
Finnish progressive melancholic metal band Lucidity’s second single, ‘Threads To Follow’ delves into the profound essence of the upcoming concept album, blindly follow the direction given, without questioning why.
This raises the central question of the forthcoming album, ‘Escherian’:
What if you don’t want to follow the prescribed path?
The track ‘Threads To Follow’ stands out both musically and structurally, deviating from the traditional single format.
This departure mirrors the overall nature of the upcoming concept album.
Much like the narrative of the song, why continue in the same direction as always?
Shouldn’t we take a moment to look around instead?

‘Night With No Morning’ is the first single release from Lucidity’s upcoming ‘Escherian’ album.
The song sets in motion a thematic narrative where a character trapped in a parallel reality realizes they are reliving the same moments over and over again.
The atmosphere of the song evokes a sense of distress brought about by uncertainty, and as the album progresses, relief remains elusive.
The single is released on the 30th of November.
2004 founded Lucidity is a progressive melancholic metal band from Jyväskylä, Finland.
