Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboards

VITRUVIAN is the uncompromising vision of Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist and composer David Skelnik. After years of touring both coasts of the United States as a guitarist, bassist, and drummer in various ensembles, Skelnik centralized his creative output to build a fully self-contained rock and metal project driven by a singular, ambitious standard.

​

Drawing heavily from the sprawling, technical architecture of progressive masters like Symphony X, Dream Theater, and Pink Floyd, VITRUVIAN fuses heavy musicianship with deeply cinematic storytelling. Backed by Skelnik's extensive professional background in broadcast engineering and video post-production, the project delivers a massive, stadium-ready aesthetic right out of the gate. The music is designed with a rare versatility—capable of appeasing hardcore progressive metal purists while breaking down genre barriers to reach a massive, diverse crossover audience.

​

VITRUVIAN’s debut album, The New Beginning, serves as both a personal narrative and a conceptual exploration of the human condition. Integrating themes of Zen, universal enlightenment, and the deep complexities of the human mind, each track acts as a progressive chapter, taking the listener on a relentless and highly visual epic journey.
