Boston-based progressive metal unit Native Construct was formed in 2011 by Berklee College of Music grads Robert Edens (vocals), Myles Yang (bass), and Max Harchik (guitar). Employing a heady blend of blistering art-metal, musical theater, jazz, and classical, the trio laid the groundwork for its debut album between 2011 and 2013, getting together between classes and on weekends. The results of those sessions eventually caught the ear of Metal Blade, who signed the group in early 2014. Quiet World, produced by the band, arrived in April 2015. ~ James Christopher Monger
