AUDIOTOPSYbegan writing together in 2014 with the goal of setting themselves apart with their songwriting and dynamic presentation. Upon quickly recognizing the chemistry, they began the journey of recording their debut album,Natural Causes.Metal Injectionpraised the album’s energy, describing it as “remarkable”, whileMetal Wanicalled it, “a welcome surprise to the metal scene” andNew Noise Magazinedubbed it, “an artfully inspired rock and metal mixture”.The Real Nowbuilds upon those praises, and then some.
Featuring both fast-paced headbangers and melodic, grooving anthems,The Real Now conjures nostalgic turn-of-the-century alt-metal influences while never sacrificing crystal clean, modern metallic drive and swagger. Heart-clenching vocals and unforgettable guitar riffs grip the listener from track one. Tracks like “Panic On The Airwaves” and “What Am I?” summon deep, numbing grooves while driving anthems like “Hologram” feature non-stop power rhythms and energy. NoAUDIOTOPSYrelease would be complete without a melodic climax, which comes in the form of the chill-inspiring track “Hurt Down”.
