Romanian Modern Metalcore band Taking Back August has released “Another Day To Live”, their latest single!
The new song is built around corrosive, massive riffs, over which a volcanic rhythm is cleverly arranged. Alex Precup’s voice pierces your heart like a drill thanks to its dual nature: Heaven and Hell.
The atmospheric synths enhance the sound of the song, giving it a special flavor and stirring up waves of emotions in you, the listener.
The band comments on the new single:
For each of us, the song symbolizes an episode in life that we had to face head-on without looking back.
It presents a broader view of where we envision going in our style, with softer parts, more technically diverse synths, and alternating clean and screaming voices.
Modern Metalcore band Taking Back August hails from Bucharest, Romania. The band was formed in 2020 by musicians Alex Precup (vocals), Claudiu Ene (bass), George Motei (guitar), Alex Iliescu (guitar), and Moroianu Gabriel (drums).
Over the first two years of its existence, Taking Back August experienced and overcome many challenges, including participating in the Posada Rock and Metal Gates festivals. Alex Precup (vocals) competed and ranked second in the Superstar Romania 2021 competition!
The first single, “Welcome Home”, was released in October 2020 along with a lyric video. The song’s message, a well-crafted one, managed to overcome the barriers imposed by the listeners’ expectations. Following the release of the first single, the band began working hard on its first record, the EP “The Devil’s Crown” – released in September 2021.
Currently, the five members of the band are composing the songs to be featured on the first studio album, which will be released at the end of 2022.
Billy Graziadei is a NYHC legend and mastermind behind Biohazard. This was my first hardcore band when I was a kid growing up and Urban Discipline came out and Bio is still one of my favorite hardcore bands which introduced me deeper into the NYHC scene and all the legendary bands there. Bio is on hold and they did not release a record for ten years and Billy needed to express himself with something new, thus his second full length with a new band. I somehow think that Billy somehow had more ways and more freedom for artistic expression when creating music in BillyBio than he had in his former or band which is pausing right now. NYHC influences and roots are here and they will always remain, as well as all those punk rock and street punk influences, but there is also metal, even some electronics and industrial samples thrown here and there. Billy´s vocal is more interesting these days, instead of only hardcore shouting, growling and screaming, which is here along with gang backing vocals, there is also melodic side of his voice and it sounds so perfectly with the songs. Of course I will go with more hardcore punk side of songs, but I think BillyBio managed to encompass perfectly old school and more modern side of hardcore and this sophomore album is even better than the debut. My personal favorites: Fallen Empires, Leaders And Liars, Our Scene. Great hardcore album!
