Metal Underground, MD
May 16 2007
ONESIDEZERO will headline the "Amplify Your Voice Against Genocide"
benefit concert June 9th, 2007 at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles
with support from Red Snow, Slow Motion Reign and Vokee featuring
former members of The Apex Theory. All proceeds from the show will
go to the Save Darfur Coalition ().
"Just like our Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust, the Native Americans
discovered and conquered, Rwanda, and now a current genocide in Darfur,
Sudan. We gather together to amplify our voices against genocide,"
says Onesidezero guitarist Levon Sultanian. "I am the offspring of
martyrs of a genocide perpetrated 92 years ago. I bear testimony to the
atrocities imposed upon my people. I can empathize with others in the
same position. That is why I participate in the Darfur demonstrations,
and I do so through my music."
ONESIDEZERO is gearing up for the release of their Ulrich Wild
(Static-X, Stabbing Westward, Taproot) produced sophomore album,
which is slated for June 5th, 2007 release by Corporate Punishment.
"The last 5 to 6 years have been some of the most insane and most
amazing times of my life. Onesidezero as a band have grown so much
together in this time. We went through the ups and downs of life and
after some new demos under our belts started the rebuilding process
of Onesidezero," says Sultanian. "It was really exciting to bring in
all these news songs into th e recording studio after working on them
at home and at rehearsal for over a year. Hope everyone digs them as
much as we do!"
The band released their Maverick Records debut Is This Room Getting
Smaller in 2001, which produced Active Rock singles "Instead Laugh"
and "New World Order". Subsequent US tours with Incubus, 311, Soulfly,
Soil and Static-X made them an instant fan favorite.
The band is currently previewing two new tracks on the group’s MySpace
account for fans to preview material from their forthcoming new album.
