Estrum: Home
Hi all! This is a temporary page. This text is painfully tiny huh? We're working on a more... uh... cool website. To satiate your cravings for the time being, come visit us at myspace.com/estrum. Hella yeehaw.
Estrum is a progressive metal band from Austin, Texas, fronted by vocal virtuoso Zena McKelvy. Estrum draws fans of bands such as Pink Floyd, Opeth, Tool and Lacuna Coil. In just over a year Estrum has developed a rabid, global fan base and released an album recorded in their own world-class recording studio, Nebulost Productions. They’ve also recently produced a video for the song Abiosis with their in-house video team, NightRain Films. Estrum is determined to continue the growth of their self-promotion juggernaut and deliver a dynamic live show to the world.
