As heavy metal devotees may have noticed of late, rising progressive metal band ONI has been gearing up for something big. Today, the band is pleased to reveal the news of their recent signing with Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records. The label will unleash ONI‘s highly-anticipated progressive metal opus, ‘Ironshore‘, on Black Friday, November 25th. Pre-orders will become available in early October.

Blacklight Media is a new label launched this past February by Chris Santos, executive chef and managing partner of the New York City restaurants VANDAL, The Stanton Social and Beauty & Essex, in partnership with Metal Blade Records CEO/founder Brian Slagel. Santos states, “One of the things that I think will make Blacklight Media a label to watch for years to come is the diversity of our roster. Oni is our first crushingly heavy signing that matches their heaviness with incredible progressive precision and classically brutal breakdowns. I’m very excited to have them as part of the Blacklight Media family!“

Vocalist Jake Oni adds, “We are excited to announce our signing with Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records. It is an honor to be on the same roster as so many amazing bands. With the support of this legendary label at our side, the world is ours!“

Featuring the already-buzzing single “Eternal Recurrence” – an uncompromising anthem that upon release gave metal fans an early look at Oni‘s undeniable technical talent – Ironshore takes listeners on an absorbing ride that provides ample opportunity for head-banging, singing along and deep introspection. To hear “Eternal Recurrence”, stream the track or watch the official video at: soundcloud.com | youtube.com

Formed in 2014, the initial vision for ONI was, “to be the band I never got to see“, explains Jake Oni. With their influences rooted in progressive metal, ONI‘s sound can be compared to the genre’s heavy hitters – The Human Abstract, Protest The Hero and Between The Buried And Me – yet they remain truly unique. With Jake Oni handling vocal duties, Martin Andres and Brandon White on guitar, Chase Bryant on bass and Joe Greulich on drums, they are also perhaps the first metal band to feature a Xylo-synth player, in the form of Johnny D, which adds an intriguing dynamic to the nine tracks found on Ironshore.

ONI has now set their sights on conquering the music world, one show at a time. After their upcoming performance at this year’s Knotfest (which will feature a special guest appearance by Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe during their 11:55am-12:25pm set on the Nuclear Blast stage), the band will join up with Max & Iggor Cavalera’s Return To Roots tour and perform on select dates through October 21st. Following that tour, Oni will join the “I Worship Chaos” Tour line-up, beginning November 23rd and featuring headliners Children of Bodom and fellow special guests Abbath and Exmortus (the latter of which they will perform five off dates with prior).

Progressive-Metaller ONI unterschreiben bei Blacklight Media / Metal Blade Records

Neues Album, ‘Ironshore’ am 25. November!

Wie Metal-Fanatiker bereits bemerkt haben dürften, strebt die Progressive-Metal-Band ONI momentan nach den Sternen. Heute kündigt sie an, kürzlich bei Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records untergekommen zu sein. Das Label wird ONIs mit Spannung erwartetes Album ‘Ironshore‘ am 25. Novemberveröffentlichen. Vorbstellen könnt ihr die Scheibe ab Anfang Oktober.

Blacklight Media sind seit Februar das Label von Chefkoch Chris Santos, dem Teilhaber an den New Yorker Restaurants VANDAL, The Stanton Social and Beauty & Essex,und Metal Blade Records’ Geschäftsführer/Gründer Brian Slagel. Santos sagt: “Ich lege langfristig großen Wert auf eine bunte Vielfalt an Bands bei Blacklight Media. Oni sind unser erstes verboten hartes Signing, das seine Heaviness mit unheimlicher Präzision und klassischen Brutalo-Breakdowns verbinde. Ich freue mich riesig, sie bei Blacklight Media zu haben!“

Sänger Jake Oni fügt hinzu, “Wir freuen uns, unseren Vertragsabschluss mit Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records bekanntzugeben. Es ist uns eine Ehre, zum selben Programm zu zählen wie so viele wunderbare Bands. Die Welt gehört uns – mithilfe der Unterstützung dieser Plattenfirma!“

Mit der bereits die Runde machenden Single “Eternal Recurrence”, einer kompromisslosen Hymne, die vom Talent der Gruppe zeugt, nehmen Ironshore ihre Hörer mit auf eine Achterbahnfahrt, die sowohl Headbangen und Mitsingen ermöglicht als auch zum Nachdenken anregt. “Eternal Recurrence” könnt ihr hier streamen bzw. euch das zugehörige Video ansehen: soundcloud.com | youtube.com

ONI entstanden 2014 mit dem Vorsatz, die Band zu sein, “die ich selbst gern auf der Bühne sehen würde“, erläutert Jake Oni. ONIs Sound speist sich aus der Prog-Tradition und lässt sich mit Kalibern wie The Human Abstract, Protest The Hero oder Between The Buried And Me vergleichen, ist aber dennoch einzigartig. Neben Sänger Jake Oni, besteht die Band aus den Gitarristen Martin Andres und Brandon White, Chase Bryant am Bass und Joe Greulich hinter den Drums. Zudem sind sie wohl die erste Metal-Band mit einem Xylo-Synth-Spieler, namentlich Johnny D, der den neun Tracks von Ironshore eine spannende Dynamik verleiht.

ONI schicken sich nun an, die Musikwelt im Sturm zu nehmen, Show für Show. Nach ihrem Konzert beim diesjährigen Knotfest (Lamb of Gods Sänger Randy Blythe wird während ihres Auftritts von 11:55 bis-12:25 auf der Nuclear Blast hallo sagen) geht die Gruppe ab Ende Oktober mit Max & Iggor Cavaleras Return To Roots auf Tour. Hinterher schließen sich Oni dem Tross der “I Worship Chaos”-Tour an, die am 23. November beginnt – mit Children of Bodom als Headlinern sowie Abbath und Exmortus.
