EPK – Sobernot – Smoke Masters (Gimme My Money Back) (single) (2022)
Publicist – Jon Asher – jon[@]ashermediarelations[.]com
“The single ‘Smoke Masters (Gimme My Money Back)’ represents a big portion of what can be expected to be listened to in Destroy. However, all songs have their own soul and sound. Songs are powerful, groovy, brutal, melodic, with great choruses and melodic sections, and also outstanding instrumental performances by the whole party, with tons of riffs and rhythms to capture your neck and make you bang your head almost by instinct. Even the order of the tracklist has a purpose. You can play in that exact order in a live show and it would work perfectly. Time flies when you listen to it and for sure you’ll want to give it a second try right after the first one.” – Sobernot

“As a conclusion, we are in front of a young band that went from a ‘promising band’ to a ‘consecrated band’ in the Chilean scene, daring with a style that is not much exploited in the national and South American level.” – Gabriel Jaque, Rock n Vox
“They reflect in all their lines a full-time winning team, strong and well endowed, somehow everyone participates in this ‘silent conspiracy’. A team that, in soccer jargon, “wins, likes and scores.” – Bastián Gómez, Resistance
“Sobernot presents their first full-length album that has an intense and powerful Groove Metal.” – John Collyer, Discordancia
“The 30-minute presentation had a sound at the level, and strong attitudes from each musician, while they kept promoting “Silent Conspiracy” (2018), their first full-length album.” – Luciano González, Rockaxis
“A delight -and a must- for every lover of the genre at a national level, which is impossible to resist. There is no way to escape from the frenzy projected by these four subjects who do not know sobriety when the watchword is to leave the soul.” – Claudio Miranda, Resistance (Live show review).

===================================
STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS:
1. When we started to record invitations to our shows, things escalated quickly and we became a sort of Monty Python of short/comic sketches. And when our first drummer decided to leave the band we did a video with him where the new drummer was born like a xenomorph (Alien franchise) leaving his rotten corpse behind and joining the band immediately. You can see the full video on our here: https://www.facebook.com/Sobernot/videos/570385980157040/
2. The concept of “Destroy” comes from our ritual before a show when we get together and scream “Destroy!” to each other in order to get in the mood to give our best every show/recording/video.
3. Similar to Destroy, our first EP name “Aurt” was born in a very similar way, it’s like a phoneme we use to express when something’s cool and fun. And fans got into this very much! Every time we play live you can hear people in the crowd shouting out loud “Auuuurt!!”. We never thought it was going to go that far hahaha. Even when a fan found any of us in the streets or anywhere they say “Auuurt!” instead of “hello”, it’s pretty crazy hahaha.
4. When we play live, we always go down to the crowd and get into the mosh and riff alongside the people, things get crazy and the music won’t be perfect during that madness but is one of the top moments of our live act.
Sobernot is an independent groove metal band born in Santiago, Chile. By mixing classic metal with groove, Latin rhythms, and progressive rock elements, they stand out in their style through powerful and innovative riffs with a balanced use of guttural and clean voices from one of a kind. This is not only reflected in the studio, but they’ve also made their live shows and performances one of the most solid ones on the local scene. Between their most important appearances, they highlight the opening shows for Havok (June 2018), and Crisix (Dec 2018). Also, sharing the stage with three of the most iconic exponents of the old-school thrash metal genre: At War, Hirax, and Exodus in September 2019. Sobernot is about to release their second studio LP, called “Destroy” on July 7th, 2022, which continues the path built by the first album “Silent Conspiracy” (2018), keeping the riffs unique identity, powerful lyrics, and exceptional choruses, but this time powered by the co-production of Franco Gabelo (CL) and mastered at Fascination Street Studios (SWE) by Tony Lindgren (Sepultura, Opeth, Kreator).
“Our album ‘Destroy’ will grab you and won’t leave you ‘til you drop, we tried to have many different rhythms and vibes to pump you in every way, our thrasher side; we include a very powerful ballad; some songs have some nü metal and aggro influences. It’s pretty much an homage to our influences but with our touch of groove and fun. Also, every song is a sing-along, we love to make songs that our audience can yell in our shows alongside us. We try to have a spicy wit in our way to say things so you can have a good time reading the lyrics as well.” – Sobernot
