We are talking about <strong>NO:IR<\/strong> a band that may still be unknown, but whose music does not lack the necessary maturity to play at the very top.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Your band name <strong>NO:IR<\/strong> does not come from the color \"black\" from the French, but is based on the term \"Film Noir\" from film criticism, which describes crime and thrillers from the 50\/60s that conveyed a very pessimistic and cynical view of the world. The band translates this multifaceted view of the world, which is embodied by these films, into music: Founded in 2019, laid <strong>NO:IR<\/strong> The newcomer band from Bristol already raised the bar for future works with their first single, presenting a very dark, melancholic sound that they soon claimed as their own. The newcomer band from Bristol combines this distinctive mix of goth with influences from hardcore, metalcore and nu-metal to create a sound that, despite their short existence, is perfectly coordinated and sounds authentic. Those of you who grew up with bands like <strong>Architects<\/strong> and <strong>Bring Me The Horizon<\/strong> and has found pleasure in <strong>Love and Death<\/strong>he will certainly add NO:IR to his playlist.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After releasing a few songs, the band has now decided to release their debut EP <strong><i>\"Are We Really Alive?\"<\/i><\/strong> this year. It all starts with her latest single <strong><i>\"Phantom\"<\/i><\/strong> for which a matching video was shot, based on Plato's \"Allegory of the Cave\" with a focus on the shadows of the prisoners. <strong><i>\"Phantom\"<\/i><\/strong> is a very dark, modern song in which different genres are combined, from striking hip-hop elements from nu-metal to the typical rise of the chorus in metalcore. The result is a captivating anthem that represents exactly the sound that <strong>NO:IR<\/strong> to their fans and the rest of the world: Authentic, honest and original. The boys say:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>\"The song is intuitively about who NO:IR is and compares the honesty in our music to the persona we have created as a band. NO:IR is not five individuals, but one personality that fuses elements of the individuals into one character. The song questions our authenticity, and the lyrics are a direct reflection of where we are as a band.\"<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>NO:IR<\/strong> knows exactly what they want and how they can achieve it, and they work with <strong><i>\"Phantom\"<\/i><\/strong> a clear sign.
