Metaphors – Andrei Cabanban 12" 180g EP | Limited Edition | Numbered | Insert Included

Metaphors is the debut release from Cabanban Recordings, and it doesn’t ask for your attention; it demands ritual. Pressed on heavyweight 180g vinyl in a 4-color jacket and numbered in a small run of 300 units, this 4-song EP is a sonic self-portrait rendered in distortion, dissonance, and transcendence.

Andrei Cabanban’s composition fuses jazz, metal, punk, rock, and electronic into something unclassifiable. Born from solitude and DIY experimentation, Metaphors channels human emotion through machine-augmented form, midi drums and synths crash beneath layered guitar lines that search for symmetry in chaos. What results is a world-bending, genre-busting soundscape that honors the act of listening as a sacred, embodied experience.

“This record is a middle finger to ghosts.”
