Featuring eight immersive songs, Virtual Symmetry was recorded by the band then mixed and mastered at Domination Studio by Simone Mularoni (DGM, Michael Romeo, Turilli Lione Rhapsody) and completed with artwork and photography by Kyrhian Balmelli.
The new video was directed by Giampiero Zappa. VIRTUAL SYMMETRY vocalist Marco Pastorino writes, “We decided to release the video of ‘Fantasie Di Verità,’ one of the most appreciated tracks from our latest album and one of the most requested tracks of the tour with Evergrey. We enjoyed every single day and every single moment of these thirty-four shows all over Europe. We can’t wait to see all of you again next year”
Swiss-Italian cinematic/progressive metal outfit VIRTUAL SYMMETRY presents a video for “The Paradise Of Lies,” the third single from their eponymous fourth album.
VIRTUAL SYMMETRY was founded in 2009 as a solo project of guitarist Valerio Æsir Villa, when the first ideas for the debut album, Message From Eternity, began taking shape. The band’s lineup has since expanded to now include vocalist Marco Pastorino, keyboardist Marco “Mark” Bravi, bassist Alessandro Poppale, and drummer Alfonso Mocerino.Featuring members of Temperance and Fallen Sanctuary, the band is a revelation in the progressive metal universe, stunning their fans and listeners with influences which range from classical music to contemporary metal and a style characterized by epic suites, rich of cinematic elements and balance between melody and technique, leading the listeners through a dynamic and emotional journey in each track.
Between 2018 and 2020, VIRTUAL SYMMETRY composed and produced their third album, Exoverse, which was recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios in Bath, UK, and featured special guests including legendary drummer Thomas Lang, a return performance by Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess, saxophonist Ruben Paganelli, the symphonic orchestra Sinfonietta Consonus, and Evergrey’s Tom S. Englund. Some honorable mentions among their live shows are 2015’s debut live show with Evergrey and Dream Theater, 2017’s live show supporting Deep Purple’s keyboardist Don Airey.

Swiss-Italian cinematic/progressive metal outfit VIRTUAL SYMMETRY has just premiered a lyric video for “Butterfly Effect,” the second single from their eponymous fourth album, approaching September release through Sensory Records.
The lyric video for VIRTUAL SYMMETRY’s new “Butterfly Effect” single was created by Stefano Mastronicola. The band’s vocalist Marco Pastorino writes, “Our new single, ‘Butterfly Effect,’ is a totally unconventional track for VIRTUAL SYMMETRY. Right from the beginning of the song, there are tons of different influences; first, the lead vocal and the piano together, then the mid-tempo chorus, and the second verse is totally inspired by R&B and groovy stuff. Enjoy the moment; our full-length is coming!”
