Metropolis Records partners with Fleisch Records to release new Zanias album ‘Chrysalis’ for American market

Metropolis Records has partnered with Fleisch Records to release the new Zanias album “Chrysalis” in North and South America. The album was originally released on May 1st in Europe via Fleisch Records, the label owned by Alison Lewis aka Zanias.
This is Zanias’ third full-length album so far and you can expect electronic art pop as you can hear below.
“Written and recorded between Berlin and the rainforest of Queensland, Australia, the sound design of “Chrysalis” reflects the rich biodiversity of the rainforest, where I drew much of my inspiration,” Zanias aka Alison Lewis explains the sound of the new album.
The project was formed in 2014 by Alison Lewis, born in Australia, raised in Southeast Asia. Before that she was already known for her vocal work with Linea Aspera, Keluar and a record shelf’s worth of collaborations with the likes of Black Rain, Ancient Methods, Dax J, I Hate Models and Infravision. Zanias released its first work in 2016 with the single “To The Core” on Noiztank. Since then various singles and 3 albums followed. Since 2020 the project is house under the wings of her own label, Berlin-based Fleisch Records. Read the review of ‘Chrysalis’.
