Биография

Stray From The Path have been unleashing their furious blend of hardcore aggression and outspoken socio-political lyricism for over a decade, striving to be the kind of band that can offer an entry point to both heavy music and radical ideas, and achieving an impressive level of longevity in the process. Now their latest album, Euthanasia, finds the NY/UK-based group in significantly darker territory. Rarely offering the listener a chance to catch their breath, Euthanasia rips through track after track of sinister riffs, gut - shaking bass, and powerhouse drumming that defies both reality and the seriousness of Reynold’s injury. Dijorio manages to sound unhinged throughout, while still providing genuine hooks amongst all of the aggression and no-punches-pulled lyrics. Many of the songs seek to shine a spotlight on elements of modern life that have become disturbingly normalized, like the insidiousness of copaganda (III), the predatory tactics of military recruiters in the United States (Chest Candy), or the unmitigated greed of major corporations (Guillotine). But Euthanasia doesn’t deal exclusively in vitriol. On mid-album standout Bread & Roses, the band teams with Stick To Your Guns vocalist Jesse Barnett to stretch their creativity in a different direction. "This song was inspired by people, like Jesse, who do mutual aid work and make sacrifices in their own lives for the betterment of their communities," explains Williams.
