Until 9 began in 2020 in order to stay sane during the first wave of lockdowns back in 2020, and by default began creating music that was literally packed with skyscraper riffs, captivating lyrics, and melodies that will infect your brain almost instantly.
Previously crossing paths over the years, each band member had worked together in various outfits that required high standards of versatile musicianship, however, the desire for “originality” became the catalyst for this new incarnation.
Check out the teaser for their forthcoming new single ‘Headstone‘ here.
A tenacious attitude towards songwriting quickly formed, and by October 2021 the copious amount of new Until 9 material was whittled down into the strongest six songs for their first EP, “Look at me Now”.
This debut EP is a calculated effort to show off the widest spectrum of Until 9’s abilities and talent.
Commenting on their debut single ‘Headstone’, the band states:
“The song is referring to the sentiment, that if you died tomorrow, what would you be remembered for? Or would you be remembered at all?! What kind of eulogy would be written for you ? Would the good you’ve done outweigh the bad?”
Featuring an ebb and flow of multiple metal and hard rock genres, the music forms a layered platform for stunning vocal performances, that transcends a single style.
Their campaign for Bloodstock Open Air 2022 will begin in late January, as part of Metal 2 The Masses, Sheffield chapter, followed by a second single in March, before the release of ‘Look At Me Now’ E.P. on March 25th.
‘Headstone’ will be available on all streaming platforms from February 4th.
