The Resonance of Rebellion
In the labyrinthine world of heavy metal, a new titan breaks through the monochromatic noise to claim its throne: Frequency Overload, a band that doesn't just play music—they ignite a revolution with each strum, beat, and lyric. Born in the vibrant underground of Long Island, New York, this ensemble has masterfully carved a niche within the heavy metal genre, blending the raw ferocity of sound with the intricate craftsmanship of true musical artisans.
Each member of Frequency Overload brings a unique constellation of influences and talents to the band, creating a compelling fusion of classic heavy metal undertones with innovative soundscapes. This synergy has propelled them beyond mere performance, elevating their creations to acts of rebellion against the conventional and the mundane. Their music is a beacon for those who seek refuge in the depths of sound, a call to arms for the restless souls driven by the rhythms of rebellion and the melodies of freedom.
Frequency Overload's journey is sculpted by their unyielding determination to bring heavy metal into the new era. They stand as pioneers at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, weaving narratives that resonate with both the timeless struggles and the specific challenges of today’s world. Their lyrics, steeped in the themes of existential quest and societal critique, invite listeners into a realm where music transcends entertainment to become a mirror reflecting the human condition.
Live performances are the sacred rituals through which Frequency Overload connects with their audience, creating spaces where the energy is palpable and the boundaries between band and crowd blur into unity. Their aim to dominate the global metal festival circuit is driven by a desire to share these moments of communion on an ever-expanding scale, reaching hearts and minds across continents with the electrifying power of their music.
In the digital sphere, Frequency Overload embraces the power of social media not just as a platform for promotion, but as a medium for genuine connection. Through vivid snapshots of their creative process, candid moments, and direct communication with fans, they've fostered a vibrant community loyal not only to their music but to the ethos of the band itself.
The narrative of Frequency Overload is not simply about a band’s rise to prominence—it's about forging a legacy within the heavy metal genre that is both respectful of its roots and audaciously forward-looking. They don't just perform music; they live it, breathe it, and craft it with the meticulous attention of artists who understand their medium as both a weapon and a whisper.
As Frequency Overload continues to ascend, their vision remains clear: to push the boundaries of what heavy metal can be, to inspire their listeners to embrace the full spectrum of their emotions and experiences, and to unite a disparate community under the banner of music that challenges, confronts, and captivates.
Witness the unfolding saga of Frequency Overload, where each chord strung, each note played, each word sung is a testament to the power of music to disrupt, to transform, and to transcend. This is not just a band—it's a movement, an invigorating force in the world of heavy metal, ready to leave an indelible mark on the hearts and souls of those who dare to listen.
Experience only comes one way
Frequency Overload is a Long Island-based four-piece of Metal
pros forcefully delivering a Hardcore-tinged reinvention of
Crossover Thrash.
The foundations of Frequency Overload began with guitarist Corey Schaefer and drummer Kevin Daily, who realized they shared a metal history when first connected through their families. Corey’s time in bands like Uncle Jack, Nothing Sacred, Kryonix, Misery, and Misery Kills led to a solid foundation in guitar and songwriting, one which also led to support slots for Devildriver and Kittie. Kevin honed his percussion roots by jamming to Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All when he was 14. Later, a run in Akalamathesia and tenure in Long Island’s iconic Exit Verona led to reigning strong in the Hard Rock scene to include shows at the legendary B.B. King venue in NYC.
With a new metal venture in mind, Corey set out to round out a lineup.
Self-proclaimed “Chokalist” Mr. Bush stepped into the vocal spotlight, no stranger to the experience with a track record as the frontman of Social Disease, Ironlung, Evileye, Welt, and Pummel, and former labelmate of Dominus-era Michael Poulsen on Progress Records. Steve Little completed the lineup as an experienced bassist of 30 years, playing in Cobalt 60, Intogreen, Image Within, and Ionize, always with an eye out to get involved with new music. The unfortunate loss of a bandmate led Steve to step away from music for some time, but Frequency Overload was just the right project to bring him back on the scene.
The moment Frequency Overload jammed together, they realized they had landed a lineup that felt “more right than ever” according to Mr. Bush, with effortless ideas and comfort as if they had been playing together for years. The synchronistic flow led to the completion of their debut full-length within a year of formation, with Fate Anthropic already set for Spring of 2024. Life of Agony legend and renowned producer Joey Z recorded, engineered, and mastered the album, with the exception of two bonus tracks done by Corey at Fat Bottom Studio. Joey Z also jumped on backing vocals for the tracks “Love and Bullets” and “The Pain Factor”.
Corey came to the band with a lifetime supply of songs, but also began to write new riffs on the fly, organically flowing with the lineup. Mr. Bush is behind the majority of the lyrics and vocal melodies, ad libbing patterns to fully articulate later on. Frequency Overload’s lyrics push forward with intensity, addressing the darker side and challenging topics of life without hesitation. Each member of the band comes from a different musical background, including some Grunge and Rock/Reggae-Fusion in former bands, plus influences spanning Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, to Lamb of God and Killswitch Engage, and plenty in between. At the end of the day, Frequency Overload is made up of Metalheads making the music they love.
Frequency Overload attributes their fortitude to each of their wives and families, who support their metal lifestyle to the fullest extent, along with the inspiration found in their friend and mentor, Joey Z.
Frequency Overload takes to their strong east coast roots with tours in the local Brooklyn, Long Island, and NYC scenes, including events like Spring Slaughter and support slots with Spoiler NYC, featuring Life of Agony’s Alan Roberts. Their combined thousands of live performance experiences continue to take them to new heights across state lines and beyond.
Fate Anthropic will be out on May 17th, 2024.
