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 stage, -JAIME- is a force. The band has already turned heads at PROG FEST in Tromsø, Wacken Metal Battle in Bergen, To katter på loftet in Knarvik, and most prominently as the headliner of their own album release show in November 2025. Their set draws listeners into a world of dynamic contrasts: intricate rhythm guitars and soaring, expressive leads; bass lines that shift seamlessly between melodic interplay and thunderous groove; drums that explode with technical fireworks; and synths that glide between atmospheric textures and striking, melodic solos. Alongside their instrumental work, -JAIME- delivers grand, cinematic vocal arrangements supported by powerful choirs and rich harmonies. The band uses all these aspects in order to create an immersive experience for the audience, where they can allow themselves to feel whatever the songs invites them to, free from judgement, free from the outside world, in their own universe.
With a catalog spanning the FLOW EP (2021)—featuring “Solace”, “Blazing Storm”, “Fields of Nihil”, and “Star Voyage”—to their debut album “Above & Beyond!”, -JAIME- stands as a band unafraid to evolve, experiment, and redefine what progressive metal can be. This is music built on emotion, precision, and limitless creativity.
