NEWS: Of The Sun read the riot act!
Bassist Jacob Umansky (Intervals, The Faceless, Painted In Exile) and drummer Bryce Butler (Shadow Of Intent, The Faceless, Contrarian) join Of The Sun mastermind Patrick Duvall for “Riot Act“, the third of four singles to appear on “Pattern Rebirth“, a debut EP from the Progressive Death Metal project. The other co-conspiritor on the record is drummer Rom Gov (Seek Irony, Tibetan Sky Ritual) and while there is no official date as yet, you can bet your bottom dollar that it will see the light of day real soon.
Of The Sun comment: “Riot Act as a song, is a statement that we see power is completely out of balance, and is concentrated through the same forces which hold a monopoly on “acceptable” violence. It’s title is a contemplation. We know what a riot is. It’s pretty unambiguous. But the word “act” can hold different meanings in combination, even redefining what a riot is depending on your angle. The actual Riot Act is also something to know about. And, like most of my other songs, I wanted the sound to unfold in chapters, so the energy has a focus while being frantic and all over the place.”
