Intro

Aliases sounds like a high-speed collision between mechanical precision and human hysteria. The guitars are sharp and brittle, delivering staccato riffs that feel like they are being fired from a machine gun, while the drums provide a complex, polyrhythmic foundation that never sits still. It is music that feels constantly on the verge of overheating, yet it is held together by an incredible level of technical discipline.

What truly distinguishes the band is their lineage and their refusal to settle into a predictable groove. Founded by Pin of SikTh fame, the music carries that same sense of 'organized chaos' where melodic passages are suddenly interrupted by jagged, dissonant outbursts. The vocal delivery mirrors this instability, jumping from guttural roars to frantic, high-pitched melodies that heighten the overall sense of urgency and mental friction.

Start with the album 'Derangeable' to experience their most polished and punishing work. It captures the essence of the UK tech-metal scene at its peak, offering a listening experience that is as intellectually demanding as it is physically exhausting. It is the perfect choice for when you need music that matches a state of high-alert focus or pure, unadulterated catharsis.
