FRACTAL UNIVERSE was founded in 2014. The band released its first EP, 'Boundaries of Reality', in February 2015, which Nocleansigning.com called "a very diverse and interesting take on progressive death metal. It's fairly groovy, frequently atmospheric, yet always massively heavy and loaded with killer riffs and leads". The EP also made the site's critically acclaimed Best of 2015 list.
In support of their EP, FRACTAL UNIVERSE kicked off their 2015 'Boundaries of Reality Tour' in February of the same year, performing about 40 shows, though 5 European countries, opening for bands such as The Black Dahlia Murder, Exodus and Monuments, and performing on the Motocultor Festival's mainstage.
At the end of 2015, the band released it's first music video for the track 'Tears of Misanthropy'. Soon after, in February of 2016, a deluxe version of 'Boundaries of Reality' was released, containing 2 brand new tracks, as well as a companion music video for the track, 'At the Dusk of a Soul', which premiered on Blanktv.com.
In Summer 2016, FRACTAL UNIVERSE re-entered the studio and recorded their first full-length album, 'Engram Of Decline'.
