Leave a comment

After the release of three singles ‘Come As You Are’, ‘Everlong’ and ‘Like a Stone‘, Rusty (frontman of the metal band Klogr) is back with a new single and EP that collects tracks produced in the studio as well as live performances. This time, Rusty aims his focus on the song ‘Hurt’, sacred to many, written by Trent Reznor (NIN) and masterfully reinterpreted by Johnny Cash. In Rusty’s arrangement the two versions of the song coexist and merge, creating a mix between industrial and unplugged. 

Speaking on ‘Hurt‘, Rusty declares ‘Confronting certain works of art makes you feel small but alive at the same time. It is one of the most important song for me that is contained on this EP’. 

The rendition of ‘Hurt’ will be found on the EP ‘Genetic Code’, which will be the first full release of the project in partnership with Superbia Music Group. The work was produced by Rusty and Federico Ascari (who mixed and mastered all the tracks) and contains 5 tracks produced in the studio and 5 live performances. The songs produced in the studio were formed at the time of the COVID-19 lockdown period, while the live performance songs were captured during the the rehearsal for the live show. Bringing together all the pieces, the ultimate goal for the project is staging a journey through rock, grunge and industrial. Bringing a live show accompanied by visuals and light production, to give each song a specific characteristic and setting. 

Rusty: ‘After years of traveling around Europe with my main project Klogr, I needed to do something that would bring me to experience music also close to home. I’ve always had a conflicting relationship with cover bands or tributes, I find they are excellent entertainment but ultimately, they’re not for me. I need to give my point of view, my version, question myself and confront songs that they made history… I can’t just play someone else’s part. This is the main reason that led us to arrange the songs in an unusual way while maintaining their nature. The EP is an introduction to the sound of the project and a view of original music to come’.

(new single) Sons ON Fire release new single ‘Collapse’!

Leave a comment
Sons ON Fire release new single ‘Collapse‘ along with the official lyric video to all major platforms via Curtain Call Records.
The single was produced and mixed by Joe Marlett (Blink 182, Switchfoot, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age).
‘We feel this is the most wide appealing most commercial song we’ve written. It sheds a light on life’s everyday problems and how suicide is not the answer. Everybody has their own problems and issues and we just want everyone to know that help is just a phone call away. You are not alone’ says the band’s drummer Bill Nychay. San Diego’s own Sons ON Fire has quickly become known to fans around the world as a band bound and determined to make its mark among the heavy hitters of modern rock. You could hear it as their first singles ‘Faded’ and ‘Just A Man’ (Pavement Music) tore up the charts for almost a full year and they have now reloaded with the addition of vocal heavyweight Josh Marin and guitarist Shawn Morgan (formerly of Papercut Massacre/Wind-Up Records) along with founding members Trevor Edwards, Bill Nychay and JK MCKinney aka Johnny Fingerz (both formerly of Kicking K8/Crash Music/EMI).This lethal combo has created a synergy resulting in an amazing new partnership with Curtain Call Records, huge performances ( Puddle of Mudd, Trapt, Tommy Vext, Black Top Mojo and Saving Abel) and culminated with the release of their first single ‘Rise’; an anthem for everyone looking to “Get Up and Rise” over whatever is keeping you from moving forward in life.

The band has had tons of experience performing with heavy hitters Disturbed, Stone Sour, Seether, Black Label Society and many more. They are influenced by the likes of Sevendust, Motley Crue, Jimi Hendrix, Staind, Chevelle and Three Days Grace.This band has faced it and even been knocked down at times, but being knocked down does NOT mean knocked out. The great ones get up, dust themselves off, kick adversity in the teeth and push forward to “Rise” up bigger and better than ever. THAT is Sons ON Fire!In this world today you can either “embrace” and overcome what the world throws at you or be “destroyed” and crushed by it. Sons ON Fire chose to “Get Up and Rise” in order to bring its new music to the people. Embrace THAT or get out of the damn way!
