After marking their return with the spiritually-charged “Emmaus”, Italian Christian Catholic metal veterans Metatrone unveil their new single “Facsimile”, the second track from their upcoming fifth studio album set for release in 2026.
“Facsimile” is more than just a song – it’s a powerful manifesto against artistic conformity and imitation. Musically, the track blends razor-sharp riffs, progressive arrangements, and melodic choruses, channeling the band’s signature power-prog style with an aggressive thrash edge.
Written by founding duo David Brown and Stefano “Ghigas” Calvagno, the track openly challenges the rise of tribute culture and invites musicians to embrace their true selves, creatively and spiritually.
Keyboardist David Brown comments:
“This song challenges artists to invest in themselves with honesty and originality, without resorting to imitation. As Jesus says in John 8:32, ‘The truth will set you free.’ We believe that truth lies in embracing your uniqueness.”
Guitarist Ghigas adds:
“The tribute band phenomenon has gone from a fun curiosity to something grotesque. It’s strange – and sad – to see talented musicians devote so much effort to copying artists who are still active. Music is about truth, not imitation.”
“Facsimile” also reflects the band’s ongoing evolution. With Jo Lombardo back on vocals and Simone Alberti (drums) and Alex Palazzo (bass) solidifying the current lineup, Metatrone‘s sound has grown sharper, more dynamic, and emotionally charged — a balance of faith-driven lyrics, technical complexity, and metal intensity.
Stay tuned!
