We are a progressive metal band from Chicago, IL, and have been making albums since 2011. Founded by Austin Peters (guitar), the current line-up consists of Phil Kalas (bass), Ken Stebliy (guitar), Luke Angle (drums) and Kyle Kunkler (synths). Our newest record, The Return of Inertia 2.0, is a follow up to our 2021 release (A Vast Field of Silence) and takes the listener on an exciting rediscovery of the music that put our band on the map. Beyond releasing records, we also stream on Twitch, run a Discord dedicated to music discovery and production, and create tone and producer packs for guitarists and producers on Gumroad.

DIY Local Chicago band

“Second Chance For Prometheus is a progressive metal band from the Chicagoland area. The band was inspired by the story of Prometheus, who is considered a symbol of human progress. They try to write songs and stories that will make you think and look at the world differently. The members of the band all come from different musical backgrounds and have worked hard to blend them together under one musical vision, making it very difficult to label the band under one genre. They promote self-reflection, community, and the elimination of our fears and vices.”

After the three of them moved to Chicago to start school at Columbia College Chicago, Stefan, Julian and Jordan’s fates all intertwined. Jordan and Julian were roommates and they both eventually met Stefan through their good friend, Austin. Stefan plays guitar and Julian plays drums, so they began to jam and look for a bassist. Jordan played bass, so it was a natural decision for him to join the band. The music writing process began under the name The Elevators until the name was changed due to unoriginality. We are now Pearls & Bones and we’re here for your entertainment.
