    Tony with Inoculation Talks Sci-fi Riffs and Xeno Guitars with Rasan

    Send us Fan Mail Ever wonder how a 12-minute epic about an alien invasion comes to life? Here's the behind-the-scenes story of Inoculation's Earthbound EP I caught up with Tony from Inoculation and learned that Earthbound was born from their love for giant prog epics like Rush & Dream Theater. They wanted to create something that tells a full story — not just a quick hook. The result? A 12-minute musical journey about alien invasions, crafted over 4-6 months of intense work. And their artwork? Inspired by ancient celestial drawings, designed by Tanner Pair — who captures that mysterious space vibe without the cheesy green aliens. It's raw, authentic, and totally their own style. Here's the kicker: Making long songs may seem wild, but it’s how they tell their biggest stories. Maybe it’s time to craft your own story in your music or art.
