Context: Vinyl LP Eye Flys

“ Eye Flys brings together the minds of four musicians known for
their work in some of the most extreme, blistering bands today.
The quartet was initially started by Full Of Hell guitarist Spencer
Hazard and former Backslider drummer Patrick Forrest as an
outlet to play aggressive music with equal intensity that would
contrast the breakneck speeds of their other projects. After
asking Backslider bassist Jake Smith to join on guitar and
vocals and Triac’s Kevin Bernsten on bass, Eye Flys’ potential
for crafting impossibly heavy songs was solidified.

 Eye Flys’ debut ‘Context’ was written and recorded just a few
short months from the band’s inception, drawing on each
members’ considerable experience and driven by the
excitement of playing in uncharted territory. This is an album of
commanding, lean noise rock absolutely brimming with vitriol.

 The direct, raw energy of Eye Flys’ music is simultaneously
menacing and intoxicating. Drawing immediate comparisons to
bands like Unsane, Cherubs and The Melvins (where they take
their name), the quartet’s bludgeoning sound is underpinned
by a razor sharp edge. Smith’s vicious lyrics are paralleled by
his unrelenting barks with passages like the opening of
‘Weaponize’ literally spat through grinding teeth. Their taut,
muscular riffing and pummelling drums lay atop a foundation of
deceptively intricate arrangements.

 Eye Flys’ ‘Context’ stands as a testament to its members’
abilities to produce music that is as ferocious as it is addictive.
In just six songs Eye Flys not only prove their place among
their peers but stand out as a force of sheer, immovable
power.
