“Facade Breaker (single) is our tech song. We liked the idea of including a technically aggressive song on the record, and since Sam had a few Necrophagist-inspired songs lying around, he ran with it. Musically, the song feels something like a mashup of Necrophagist, Archspire, and Revocation – vocally, however, things are very different, drawing from bands like Periphery and The Dillinger Escape Plan.” – Inhale Existence

================================================
BAND STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS:
1. Our first album “The Spiral” plays like a concept album, but only musically. The lyrics are all thematically linked and exist in the same sort of universe, but there’s no single story being told. The music, on the other hand, has a bunch of recurring motifs and callbacks, the most obvious being found in the first and last tracks on the record.
2. Nikhil still listens to music on an iPod classic and buys music on iTunes. You’ll have to ask him why, because I definitely don’t know.
3. All of our songs were written and worked on remotely during the pandemic. We founded the band when Covid had made it to the US, but before the pandemic was officially declared – by a matter of days. Being home for those months to come, the majority of our first record was written, and that definitely shaped the music.
4. We have a 17-minute epic on our first album, written by Sam in just under a week.
5. The band was formed as a 4-piece instead of as a more traditional 5-piece. Everything was tracked by the four members at Jamie King’s studio in North Carolina, with Jamie King.
Inhale Existence strives to be the most unabashedly heavy band they can be. Born of a combination of Nikhil Rao’s catchy vocals and Sam Mooradian’s crushing guitar riffs, and paired with Brian Krahe’s nasty bass tone and James Knoerl’s improvised grooves, Inhale creates something wholly unique in a saturated modern progressive metal scene. The band brings substantial experience with them, with all members having done major US tours with bands such as Fallujah (Sam), The Faceless (James), Krosis (Brian), and A War Within (Nikhil). With their sound inspired by bands like The Dillinger Escape Plan and Meshuggah – and colored with synthesizers – when Inhale Existence comes together, brace yourself.
In the summer of 2021, Inhale Existence entered the studio with renowned producer Jamie King (Between the Buried and Me, The Contortionist) to record their debut album. The resulting record traverses a vast sonic landscape packaged in irreverent and interesting song structures. Its expected release in late 2022 promises to be both memorable and upsetting to the prog metal scene.
