“We left no stone unturned when crafting this record which was 3.5 years in the making.

‘Entropy’ is a confrontationally dark, raw, emotional, conceptual body of work, containing career defining performances from all members and is both crushingly cinematic and timeless in character.
Acolyte’s stunning second studio offering ‘Entropy’ has been brought to life by award-winning producers Prasheen Naran and Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus) at Melbourne’s Sing Sing Recording Studios. They also collaborated with Ben Rechter from fellow Australian Prog Metal band Circles for the single ‘Clarity’.

ACOLYTE’s latest video single ‘RESENTMENT’ channels the psychedelic soul and power of 70’s rock icons Janis Joplin and Blondie, merged with the musical spirit of Deep Purple and RUSH with a modern prog metal twist – Acolyte are successfully colliding the past and the future to create a sound both fresh and nostalgic in nature. Keyboardist David Van Pelt spoke to Prog about his impressive synth collection and his favourite synth solos in Prog. You can read the feature HERE.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
