“Indoor Enthusiast” is due for release on the 24th October 2025 and is the third record from Tuesday the Sky of which is the instrumental-driven project from guitarist Jim Matheos. Jim Matheos is best known as the founding member and primary composer for the progressive metal band Fates Warning.
“Indoor Enthusiast” is due for release under Metal Blade Records and presents a collection of 11 immersive instrumental tracks that hit the listener with emotional precision. “Indoor Enthusiast” follows on from the second album release in 2021's "The Blurred Horizon".
Among the album’s most compelling pieces are “Zugzwang”, “Between Wind and Water”, “Memento Mori” (not to be confused with the Lamb Of God release) and “Set Fire To The Stars”. The tracks on this album are driven by powerful instrumentation and tightly executed. You won’t find blast beats or complex guitar chugging anywhere on this album but it does have its own unique appeal.
The recent music video release from the album is available for viewing on the official Metal Blade Records youtube channel or simply click above. “The Nearest Exit May Be Behind You” is the first track from “Indoor Enthusiast”. With this track Matheos crafts tension not through volume, but through atmospheric prowess using instrumental and ambient elements to stir feeling and emotion that lies beneath the surface. A track that truly crafts emotional structure whilst remaining minimalist.
With the closing track entitled “Closure” true to its title, the track delivers a fitting sense of closure to an ambient yet emotionally rich album. For the audiences who’ve survived the pit and the pandemonium of local metal shows and wish to retreat to a lighter but fulfilling listening experience that delivers a sense of emotional reprieve with space for reflection, this is the album is for you.
