Distraction: Metalcore & Swedish -styled Death Metal Riff gather in the new EP of Reno Band – No Echo

Ever since the 90, thanks to groups such as gates and soil, the melodic side of the Swedish Death Metal has had a huge impact on the sound of several heavy music scenes. This influence is obviously most in the guitar reef clinics, thrown by the likes of Killswitch Engage, The Black Dahlia Murder and Unearth.

A recent example of this sound inspiration can be heard We are all burning nowThe new EP of distraction. “We started with some more technical, but over time, our sound appearance has become a combination of all our individual influences and talents,” tells me Jim Williams, the vocalist of the Nevada-based group.

“Our influences are everywhere [laughs]S Everything from melodic hardcore, to death metal. We all appeared in different parts of the stage, so we try to merge elements of punk, hardcore (mainly 90) and metal in our own sound. The end result is difficult to describe, but we feel unique. “

The distraction was formed a decade ago, but as Jim explains, this time was necessary for the quintet to find its foundation. “Like most groups, we have gone through some changes to the composition, but we have the feeling that we have finally found all the right pieces and have reached our last form.

In addition, his abundant collection of mouth guitar reefs, We are all burning now He also takes advantage of his frenetic arrangements of songs. “We like to have drastic changes to the pace and to feel.

We like to play right at the end Our abilities, so there is a feeling that the whole thing can fly out of the rails in every minute.

To quote Biohazard, the songs of the scattered We are all burning now are “the state of the world address” in many ways. “The EP touches personal, public and political topics such as climate change, Queer rights, workers’ rights/capitalism at a late stage, personal trauma, etc.

“As a group we have always tried to shine raw light on the things we see in the world around us. At this epic we tried to bind everything together. The reverse art tells the same story as the texts. The world burns around us and we (human Race) is easy to distract to solve any of the problems we are facing.

As I write this, I recently turned 50, the closing thoughts of Jim hit the home for me and I also need to be linked to a large part of No Echo’s reader audience. “We’re all older people at the end of the 30s to the beginning of the 1950s. The group is something we do because we still love the principles of doing ourselves and hardcore punk. This is something we never have They grow or want to leave behind.

“We are all grown up and families, so this is a hobby more than anything. We all still like to play and share ideas with people who come to the shows, seeing other groups, etc. There is a catargic edition that is unique to This kind of music played in dirty places for Sam, you can’t find anywhere else.
