With a number of singles released over the past few months, progressive metal trio Phase Transition, are finally closer to releasing their forthcoming debut album, In Search of Being, on June 6th, 2025.
Prior to the album’s release, the band has one more song to share, “The Other Side,”, a song about the mysteries of death and the perception of mortality.
The track features Ricardo Pereira from the melodic death metal band Moonshade and offers a perfect blend of melodic female vocals and guttural male vocals, along with powerful guitar, violin, and drum solos. It all comes together in an epic, catchy chorus and delivers a densely melodic yet heavy and groovy take on progressive metal.
Writing for the album started in 2023 when guitarist Luís Dias was in Barcelona for a while. The band worked on the music remotely which took about a year and a half to lay down, then another six months to produce and record everything. The final production, mixing, and mastering was done with the help of former Anathema member Daniel Cardoso, at Öhme Studio.
Tracklisting:
1. Dichotomy
2. Becoming, (R)evolution
3.Veil of Illusions
4.Shadows of Grief
5.The Other Side

In Search of Being
Sofia Beco, Luís Dias, and Fernando Maia began playing while at university, in the middle of their studies for exams, with Dream Theater covers. While trying to pass their courses, they managed to release their first EP called “Relatively Speaking”, in 2020. Since then, they have been playing in several venues like HardClub and festivals such as Comendatio Music Fest. The band combines influences ranging from classical music to technical progressive metal, as a result of the eclectic backgrounds of the members.
