In the shadowed spires of New York City, where concrete dreams collide with cosmic whispers, SkyMuseum emerged in 2022 as a force of sonic alchemy and narrative sorcery. Founded by the visionary vocalist and lyricist YenYorkCity and the thunderous drummer-producer LunaSoturi, this alt-rock/progressive collective has swiftly transcended the ordinary, forging a universe where grunge’s raw howl, progressive metal’s intricate fury, industrial’s mechanical pulse, synthwave’s ethereal glow, and atmospheric soundscapes entwine into something utterly transcendent.
SkyMuseum doesn’t merely play music—they curate experiences. Their sound is a portal: soaring, soul-stirring vocals that pierce the veil between vulnerability and defiance meet crushing riffs, cinematic production, and rhythms that pulse like the heartbeat of alternate realities. Drawing inspiration from icons like Shirley Manson, Jeff Buckley, Maynard James Keenan, Chino Moreno, Mike Portnoy, and beyond, the duo crafts songs that feel both intimately personal and epically vast—tracks that linger in the mind long after the final note fades into the void.
At the heart of SkyMuseum lies The Lore—a living, breathing saga of interdimensional intrigue, fractured timelines, and prophetic convergence. Through haunting mini-series skits, the Anachronists (Yen and Luna) navigate cosmic threats, cyborg interventions, and timeline-stabilizing missions. Temporary cybernetic allies like Callisto (Keeper of Rhythm), J.E.D.D. (cybernetic bassist), and Z.E.D.D. (cybernetic guitarist) step in as narrative placeholders, blurring the lines between band, myth, and multimedia spectacle. This isn’t background flavor; it’s the very essence of the project, culminating in immersive live shows where music, theater, and story collide in unforgettable rituals.
Their discography already crackles with otherworldly energy: the dream-pop celestial voyage of “Heading Into Outer Space,” the grunge-soaked intensity of “Splinter” (featuring Joshua Woo), the industrial-metal bite of “Unawake” (with Adam Scott Faris), the progressive mysticism of “Minds Eye,” the haunting atmospheres of “Flight 98,” and the brand-new masterpiece “The Anachronist.” A full-length concept album is on the horizon, released in a waterfall of singles that deepen the lore with every drop.
Live, SkyMuseum is a revelation. They perform with deliberate frequency—curated, themed spectacles at iconic venues like The Delancey, Dingbatz, 1604 Broadway in Times Square, Wonderplace Alpha, and more—blending high-octane energy, fan connection, exclusive merch, and lore-driven theatrics. Audiences don’t just watch; they step inside the SkyMuseum.
Beyond the stage, Yen and Luna co-produce YenYorkCity Live, a podcast and media platform that dives deep into the creative underworld, spotlighting artists, struggles, and cultural currents with the same passion that fuels their music.
SkyMuseum is actively expanding their ranks, seeking visionary guitarists and a bassist to join this progressive collective in NYC. But make no mistake—this is no ordinary band. It is a museum of sound and story, a sanctuary for the introspective rebel, a launchpad into the unknown. Where timelines fracture and reform, where emotion becomes riff and prophecy becomes chorus, SkyMuseum invites you to stabilize your own reality… one transcendent track at a time.
Join the journey. The sky is not the limit—it is the exhibit!
