Montreal alternative rock band Cloned Apparition have released their debut album, Parallel With The Sun, today through Static Era Records.

Across eight tracks, the record pulls together grunge-soaked intensity, hazy shoegaze textures and flashes of nu-metal weight, with touchstones including Helmet, Hum and Deftones, while fitting right in alongside newer bands like Soul Blind, Narrow Head, Split Chain, Trauma Ray and the like. The album features the previously released singles “Stain” and “Let Me,” the latter featuring crushing guest vocals from Jake of Mile End.
