Prometheus was formed in 2007 in Lexington, Kentucky, as a way of surpassing modern mainstream music as it exists today. The experimental rock group itself consists of four intelligent musiciansâ”Ryan Weeks (vocals, guitar, synth/keys), Chris Wheeler (guitar, vocals, sfx, synth), Cole Wade (bass, samplings), and John Hannon (drums)â”who insist upon making songwriting an extremely tedious and difficult process. The end result is a collection of songs and/or concepts which make the music timeless to both the listener and the players.
Major influences include, but are in no way limited to: Radiohead, The Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree, Modest Mouse, Tool, The Flaming Lips, Muse, space travel, world destruction at the hands of man, the evolution of species, the uni/multiverse, quantum theory, polyphony, memes, the natural sciences, and humanity.
Prometheus recently released their debut EP âInto the Bright White Lightsâ; 6 tracks of genre-bending rock. They are currently working on the production of their first full length CD of imaginative and âœpsychedelic, progressive rock that has earned them a steady following around the region!â The album will include a selection of diverse, complex, and thought provoking songs such as Seven Numbers, When I Tried to Save the World, and Easier Than Taking the Time. The album is to be an auditory voyage through the depths of the human psyche, during its varying stages of disturbances, feelings of isolation, paranoia, hope, enlightenment, fear, contempt, and awe.Have you performed in front of an audience?We do play live, thought it has been a little while since our last performance since we have been working on our debut releases. Now that we have completed the production of our EP 'Into the Bright White Lights', we have begun the booking process, though the shows will be more localized until next year when the last of us graduate from college. Currently we will be performing in our home town of Lexington, Kentucky and can also be found in performing in Louisville, Cincinnati, Nashville, and Knoxville due to their locality. Furthermore, as a full four piece band, there is nothing that we find more exhilarating than performing in front of an ecstatic crowd; the live show is what we live and breath for.

When I Tried to Save the World - very cool - one of my faves from the CC contest - well done!!
HI. Was listening to some stuff tonight and ran across 7 numbers. Great song. Very unique. Almost an epic style of arrangement and structure. Mix is a little rough nut I think that actually helps the song. It seems to have its own identity. Well done. I added it to my station, Century Of the Fruit bat Radio. I play in Lexington quite a bit. I would love to catch you live. Let me know when and where you play next and I will try to make the show. I won't be playing ay shows in Lexy until feb 28th. Give a holler.
Prometheus rocks. Their music is beautiful and haunting and I love it! Can't wait for the first cd to be released. Expecting big things from this band!!
