北落师门（Fomalhaut)

北落师门是一支于2006年10月成立于北京五道口职业技术学校的前卫金属乐队。在至2010年北京求学的时光里，他们活跃在各大高校音乐节中，在13-club、D22等live house的舞台之上都有他们的身影。他们以高校乐队中鲜有的独特风格以及对音乐作为音乐本身存在的尊重，在当时的北京学生地下乐迷团体中有着不错的口碑。

2010年毕业后，乐队几名核心成员都踏上了海外求学发展的道路，也因此沉寂了十年的时间。但生活并未浇灭他们对音乐的追求，居住在挪威奥斯陆的吉他、西雅图地区的鼓手、以及德国慕尼黑的主唱几人，一直维系着音乐上惺惺相惜的联系。2021年，他们又以远程合作录音的方式重新活动起来，并有小有名气的音乐人汉堡君加入并担任制作、编曲及贝司。2022年3月，北落师门发行了十余年后的第一首新单曲——从帕慕克同名小说有感而发，时长有13分钟多的《雪（Kar）》。这宣告着他们新的全长专辑项目的启动。这个专辑计划，在保持了乐队一直以来诗意的、有些学究式的内敛且带有东方色彩的前卫金属风格的基础上，又会有很多新的突破和探索，一定不负于喜爱音乐的你的期待。

Fomalhaut is a progressive metal band founded in October 2006 in Tsinghua University, Beijing. During their academic years in Beijing until 2010, they were active in various college music festivals and were spotted on the stages of live houses such as 13-club and D22. With a distinctive style rarely found in college bands and a respect for music as music itself, they had a good reputation among Beijing’s student underground music fan groups at the time.

After graduating in 2010, members of the band embarked overseas to study and develop their career, which led to a decade of the band’s inactivity. In 2021, the band revived its music in collaborative remote recording sessions, with the well-known musician Humbug joining the team as a producer, arranger and bassist. In March 2022, Fomalhaut released their first new single in over a decade – the 13+ minute song titled “Snow (Kar)”, inspired by Pamuk’s novel of the same name. This proclaims the launch of their new full-length album project. The album project, while maintaining the band’s traditional poetic, slightly scholastically self-contained and eastern-inspired progressive metal style, will also feature many new breakthroughs and explorations that will surely not disappoint your music-loving expectations.
