Release Date: November 12, 2021
FFO: Black Sabbath, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains
Location: New Jersey, USA
The
band came together in 2019 when Jeff and Jim met Shaun at a Godsmack
concert through mutual friends. Conversation came up about original
music and Shaun said he’d like to give the project a listen. Shaun was
traditionally a thrash drummer, so the music and tempo was a bit
different than he was used to, but he added something special to it
almost immediately. Chris Fritz had already tried to hire Shaun for a
cover band and found out he was joining Jim and Jeff for an original
project. After listening to a demo of a few of the songs Chris quickly
became interested. (Chris, Jim and Doug have all been lifelong friends
since high school) Doug Edwards originally declined doing an original
project but couldn’t resist joining the group. It wasn’t long after that
the band release a 7-song demo titled Shallow Grave which can be found
on all streaming platforms. After gigging the songs over the summer, the
group got into some serious song writing and decided to put together an
11-song studio release. They teamed up with Charlie Berezansky of Rival
Sound studio and laid the foundation of the album “Far From Life”.
Each member has its own list of influences, but the main song writers are influenced by Black Sabbath, Metallica, Alice in Chains, Pink Floyd, Soundgarden, Iron Maiden, Guns and Roses, and of course Ozzy.
The
bands' philosophy is simple: "We want to write music we would listen
to. Today’s commercial metal music market is flooded with a specific
“sound”. It’s not a bad sound, but the era of music we loved is the 80’s
and early 90’s metal style of music. We are trying to make music
influenced by that era yet keep it modern. In doing that we have
discovered a sound and style of our own. Please take a listen, hopefully
you’ll enjoy hearing it as much as much as we enjoyed creating it."
