Hailing from
a small community in suburbia hell, five strangely different guys
combine forces to create ADJACENT TO NOTHING
who has proven Utah has not suppressed their talents in the least.
Heavy influences range from Tool, Korn, to Mud Vayne, though the
common names do not prove this band to be so ordinary. Some of
the tribal drum and bass techniques remind one of Moonspell’s
style, but with more power and metal behind them. Even with such
influences, ADJACENT TO NOTHING makes their own
signature sound that is incomparable to any. Paralyzed
has become one to set the bar on musical achievements and distinctiveness
for their one of a kind sound. Already setting out with impressive
commentaries from some highly known bands to sharing the stage
with such legends as Type O Negative, Drowning Pool, Pissing Razors,
Flaw, AdamShip, Hemlock, 40 Below Summer, Ill Nino and more have
given them a reputation to raise some hell and have a killer show
on stage.
Hitting hard
with the first song to last, the song Help really shows
their harder side of their music while Slide Show has
all kinds of styles from melodic to raging metal laced within
this song. With a voice of pure blood and gold, Mike Shumway knows
how to work the mic. From soothing sensual melodic choruses to
fast paced screams and metal gores, this voice is in the set to
impress mode. Guitarist Jake Merrill who is labeled “Best
In Utah” joined ADJACENT TO NOTHING’s
forces to add his killer axe to the metal molestation of sweet
heavenly metal. Beauty rains from his guitar while bassist Spencer
Walker intertwines himself with in the music creating a solid
hard vibe. Cameron Jacobs follows up with a clean drums, tribal
beats, and rhythms setting the band on fire. The second guitarist
Dan Hathaway adds the final flare to this masterful sound perfecting
it to sweet bliss.
ADJACENT
TO NOTHING has a strong impression upon any listener
and is one that will stay with you. Damn The Day is a
classic metal number that any admirer could not deny is an instant
powerhouse. The unique sound captivates and intrigues listeners
to hear more so once again they will be left in awe from their
glory. Congratulations to ADJACENT TO NOTHING
for a great album! Be on the look out, ADJACENT TO NOTHING
will be coming on the road to you soon.
