Fraktions have special guest on their new record

Young British tech/prog-metallers Fraktions have unveiled a new track from their upcoming EPAnguish, out August 12.

Featuring Kaan Tasan from No Consequence and first premiered on Bring The Noise, you can hear the track here:


Pre-order the EP here: https://fraktions.bandcamp.com/Anguish is a highly compelling new release from a band equally influenced by classical music, the jazz noodlings of Tigran Hamasyan and the progressive metal of TesseracT and The Contortionist; Fraktions are an exciting addition to the burgeoning second wave British tech-metal scene.Having played alongside Drewsif Stalin, No Consequence (whose frontman features on the EP),Kadinja, and Bleed from Within, Anguish is a irresistible new take on technical metal. Inspired by songwriter and pianist Joel Pinder’s classical leanings, the EP presents an impressively mature approach from such a young band.

A concept EP, Anguish is about the final chapter of a schizophrenic woman’s life. The protagonist suffers from aural hallucinations as a result, a condition translated musically into the EP’s frantic and unpredictable style, veering between piano-led dissonance and guitar-led technical off-kilter riffing. The multiple sound-worlds of the EP mark Fraktions out as a band to take notice of – a young group with a promising future ahead of them.

The EP was recorded and mixed by Daniel Reid of No Consequence and mastered by Acle Kahney of TesseracT.

Catch the band’s album launch show at Surya, London, on August 14th.
