BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN HEAVY AND MELODYBy Jimmy WigginsFrom The Walleye Magazine (July 2018)
Deciding on a name that best represents your music is a crucial part of being in a band. It’s how your music will be known and referred to by others, seen on gig posters and social media, announced at shows and is often the group’s first impression to a potential fan. So when the Zack Kangas (vocals), Aaron Radford (guitar) needed a name to represent the power, aggression and destruction of their sound the choice was simple.
Railgun was formed in 2009 when two high school friends who shared an innate passion for heavy music would begin writing together. A few years later, including a lengthy hiatus and several member changes, the band would eventually become complete with the addition of Ray Milton (guitar), Mike Henderson (bass) and Jake Pechiwa (drums).
Inspired by both heavy hitters and guitar Gods, Railgun take influences from the likes of Lamb of God, Protest the Hero, Steve Morse, and Jimi Hendrix (among others) to create a bone crushing sound that can effortlessly turn any crowd of onlookers into a ferocious mosh pit. They’ve opened for notable heavy acts like Colorado’s Havok, LA’s Act Of Defiance, Vancouver’s Archspire and Montreal’s Cryptopsy.
Over the years Railgun has released several recordings including their debut album, “This Is War” (2012) and “Creature in the Night” (2014). “The goal of the band was, and still is to remain heavy and melodic; to bridge the gap between heavy, driving riffs, and beautiful melodic lines” explains Milton, “taking all of this into account, every song up to date has the signature Railgun sound.”
With the natural evolution of the band’s sound coupled with the change of their personal tastes and influences, Railgun refuse to stay stagnant and are ready to show the music world their progression with the unveiling of their second full-length studio album, “Tension” set to be released September 28 of 2018. “Our upcoming release still has this signature sound, but coupled with it, you may run into a flamenco inspired bridge, or classically influenced arpeggios that you won’t find in our older work”, explains Milton, “Tension is our best attempt to amalgamate all of the things we hold true. This album will be our first real shot at making a ripple in the pond that is the music world. We put in the extra time and effort to make this album stand out”.____________________
