Inspired by a vast collection of music branching from video game soundtracks to 1978's progressive epic "Hemispheres" by Rush, Perahelion introduces a new concept of progressive rock that build a journey through the compilation of layered instrumentals.
Founding members Ali Minaian and Leroy Martinez had shared similar taste in music over the years, drifting and collaborating with many local musicians, their drive into progressive rock stood alone amidst the majority of listeners. What began as the seed of an idea in 2012 blossomed into the bigger picture: Ali and Leroy's concepts were brought to life through vivid instrumentation, backing each song with splashes of their personal background and helping to instill a sense of journey throughout the tracks. In addition, they added a story through the combination of visual art work and sound. With the help of those closest to the duo, they gave birth to Perahelion and have released their first self-titled album to the world in 2014.
