New York City’s EYE RA HAZE: Ethereal New Track ‘New Beginning’ + Official Video Album Trailer – Both Streaming with Revolver Magazine TODAY
New EP Eye Of The Storm Releasing on June 11, 2013 – Produced by Chris “Zeuss” Harris (Killswitch Engage, Soulfly, Hatebreed)
Performing at Santos Party House in NYC on Friday, May 17th
Modern progressive music is somewhat of a boys club. With the exception of a few bands that surfaced between the mid-90’s and now, the female gender has been primarily absent from the world of progressive hard rock and metal. Finally, the wait ends now with the introduction of New York City alternative/progressive quintet EYE RA HAZE. Not only featuring drummer Kevin Corcoran’s (ex-Buried Alive) thunderous beats and Berklee-schooled bassist Chris Marrone’s fresh rhythms, the band also includes the female triple-threat of seductive crooner Natasha Nicholson, striking 8-string guitarist Nicole Papastavrou (ex-Through this Defiance), and captivating classical pianist Karine Catenacci.
EYE RA HAZE recently finished recording their haunting new EP, Eye Of The Storm, with world-famous producer Chris “Zeuss” Harris (Killswitch Engage, Soulfly, Hatebreed). Featuring three new tracks, ‘New Beginning’, ‘Quiet Storm’ and ‘Warships’, the EP is set to release on June 11, 2013. Today, Revolver Magazine released the band’s official video album trailer to give fans a taste of the new music, which is reminiscent of a female-fronted Deftones or a darker Flyleaf. Additionally, Revolver is streaming the track ‘New Beginning’ via the band’s Soundcloud page.
EYE RA HAZE is the natural formation of five heavy music lovers who shared the dream of sculpting a nonpareil sound in the alternative and progressive genres. Their blend of delicate, ardent melodies and tumultuous rhythm riffs force EYE RA HAZE to stand apart from the crowd. They craft each song like a passionate, personal encounter, using dynamics to translate their mood and intentions. During the tremors of their live set, EYE RA HAZE exposes a crude display of skills, taking the audience from love to rage and leaving them hung; craving to know the source of their enigmatic dark side, and their intimidating show of beauty.
This Friday, May 17th, EYE RA HAZE will perform at Santos Party House in NYC. Doors open at 7:30pm and costs just $10. Other bands performing are Bulldoze, Skarhead and more. See below for the show flier.
EYE RA HAZE played their first residency at Saint Vitus in Brooklyn, New York last July. The band is planning a string of live shows in the Northeast this spring and plans to return to the studio in July 2013 to record a full length with hit songwriters Bob Marlette (Saliva, Shinedown) and Jasen Rauch (Korn/Breaking Benjamin).
