The metal band from Sweden known as
Synchrony have released their debut EP record, “Days in Serenity.”
The record comes with five original tracks for an approximate total
listening time of 20 minutes, making for a comprehensive introduction
to metal fans not yet familiar with Synchrony's signature sound. It
has been proudly published on the XJT Music and Cuprite Productions
independent record labels. Hammering, roaring, melodic and charged
with 21st-century aggression, “Days in Serenity” stands as proof
that Synchrony is a nu-metal crew for the new millennium.
Themselves hailing from the Stockholm
area, Synchrony cite as artistic influences UK groups such as
Architects and Monuments, American bands such as Linkin Park,
Periphery and Veil of Maya, and of course Swedish mainstays such as
Deceptic, Soilwork and Dead by April.
The style of Synchrony is somewhat more
technical than many modern metal groups without becoming overwrought
or pretentious, à la mathcore. Fans of
progressive rock are likely to be enthusiastic. Each of the members
exhibit expert playing: machine-gun percussion, chugging guitars,
snappy bass lines, creative synth accompaniments … Yet these
instrumentalists never play in such a way as to obstruct their
prominent vocals.
Synchrony's vocals are sung as much as
they are screamed, growled or shouted, making “Days in Serenity”
more accessible to music fans outside the metal genre than is often
the case – a balance which has made some metal bands (like Linkin
Park) worldwide sensations, and one which is rapidly endearing
Synchrony to listeners both at home and abroad.
This accessibility reveals itself in
their songwriting, as well. Speaking of the themes of their music,
Synchrony write, “We are inspired by whatever life throws at us.
The lyrics are pretty down to earth so that people can easily relate
to them.”
Synchrony are Ralph Vahtera (vocals),
Robin Stenström (guitar, bass), Niclas Werner (drums), and Elliot
Schreiner (screams).
Their current official bio from XJT
Music / Cuprite Productions describes them: “Synchrony is a metal
band from Sweden formed by Guitarist Robin Stenström and Drummer
Niclas Werner in 2015. With a magnificent taste of deep and powerful
melodies combined with low-tuned, heavy guitars and progressive
riffs, the sound reaches out to both soft and heavy listeners.”
The band would also like to thank XJT
Music chief Xander Turian, “for giving us the opportunity and
helping us with the release of our debut EP. We owe a lot of our
current success to his help and expertise within the music industry.”
“Days in Serenity” by Synchrony is
available online at over 700 digital music stores worldwide. Get in
early, metal fans.
