Formed in 2015 in Wichita, Kansas, Parallax are instantly identifiable as a breed apart. With a sound that hurls all manner of disparate elements into the sonic blender, and the intensity and conviction to make the resultant hybrid count, this shape-shifting quartet have steadily forged a reputation as modern metal mavericks, releasing a series of acclaimed EPs and playing countless shows with everyone from Whitechapel and Suicide Silence to Mushroomhead and Goatwhore. Their latest album, Awaken, is their most potent statement yet, and represents the culmination of five years of dogged determination and creative fearlessness.
As they prepare to shake off the shackles of inactivity and erupt into violent life once more, Parallax are secure in the knowledge that Awaken is an exhilarating and eccentric one-off. The perfect, furious antidote to post-pandemic lethargy, songs like the cudgeling, doom-laden Descent and the mutant thrash assault of Blood Moon are custom designed to snap necks and blow minds. As Jason explains, the band’s next move
is to take this epoch-shattering storm of sound to the people. Awaken, or be crushed! - excerpts taken from write up by Dom Lawson
