Djent/deathcore band BANSHI release their debut single ‘RAID.” The song’s music balances the off-rhythm style of djent with the modern, aggressive heaviness of deathcore. The audio terror that spews forth reflects the band’s passion for using metal to speak on subjects that many find difficult to approach and process.
BANSHI emerged from central Texas, after vocalist Ethan Wade started the project as a side-project of his main band LEFT IV DEAD . The band’s bassist, Austin Blades, jumped in for drums for BANSHI. While he and Austin searched for a full line-up, Ethan wrote and recorded a few songs. Longtime friend Chris McCloskey soon joined on bass, alongside guitarist Duncan Salinas from HATEWAKER.
‘RAID’ touches on the subject of a world and its people decayed by corruption, both inside and out. Depression, mental abuse, PTSD and anxiety so often takes us from the inside while we are attacked on the outside through extremists, toxic environments, and abusive relationships. The song’s powerful rhythms reflect the urgency of its message against the atmosphere of hopelessness.
