Human experiences confronted by forces beyond their control shape Dyson, the third studio album from SPHERES. Completing a conceptual trilogy inspired by cosmic layers, the record turns its attention toward a grand megastructure while addressing environmental collapse, mental illness, grief, technology, love, inner demons and social media.
The album’s release date is November 13, 2026, through Art Gates Records. In its announcement that day, the label also advised professional media and radio contacts that promotional access would remain open for only a few more days. That limited press-access window is separate from public listening availability, which the announcement does not explicitly establish.
The supplied album description presents Dyson as a darker, heavier installment in the trilogy, combining intricate progressive structures with heavy, unpredictable melodies and an emphasis on mathematical precision. Its cosmic framework accompanies a focus on human nature: each song follows a person facing something greater than themselves.
Formed in France in 2018, SPHERES combine melodic death and progressive metal with cinematic atmospheres. Their music shifts between clean singing, growls and screams, pairing heavy riffs and melodic songwriting with progressive arrangements. The biography describes contrasts extending from ethereal melodies and dreamlike passages to heaviness and frenzy. Dyson follows two previous releases.
Jonathan Lino produced the album, Chris Edrich mixed it, and Pierrick Noel handled mastering. The announcement cites Devin Townsend, TesseracT and Leprous among Edrich’s credits and describes the production as modern, detailed and dynamic.
Lino also performs vocals, guitars and keyboards in SPHERES. The remaining lineup consists of Marc-Antoine Walczak on guitars and keyboards, Clemence Santé on bass, and Jesses Haddad on drums.
The band’s 2026 plans with Art Gates Records include bringing Dyson to stages in France, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium, Spain and the UK, with further dates to be announced. The supplied announcement lists no individual show dates or venues.
