Interview: The Prog Metal Way – ‘Above and Beyond’ – In Conversation with -JAIME-
What began as a deeply personal solo project exploring identity, adoption, and the search for belonging has transformed into a powerful progressive metal act. With members who have played together for over a decade, -JAIME- is a band built on chemistry, precision, and an unmistakable artistic vision, now ready to launch onto bigger stages.
Blending the cinematic intensity of Devin Townsend, the virtuosity of Steve Vai, and the ambition of Dream Theater, -JAIME- crafts an explosive mix of technical musicianship, atmospheric depth, and raw emotional energy. Their sound pushes the boundaries of modern prog metal, delivering both massive sonic landscapes and razor-sharp detail.
On November 14th, 2025, -JAIME- released their brand-new album, ‘Above And Beyond’ via Jaimekalv Records and it is this record, as well as so much more, that we chatted about with -JAIME-.
