Static Tension new Ep "Ashes to Animation"

"This EP is a must hear for anyone that is fan of the grunge era or alternative rock. Static Tension melds various genres into their sound so it’s almost impossible to pigeon hole them to a specific genre, their style is exclusive and won’t be heard anywhere else."-Metal Nexus

"Amidst the EP’s heavy-handed hooks and resounding nostalgia, the band makes a statement that the alternative is alive—kicking, dancing, moshing, and everything in between. And we better listen to believe." -Music Existence

RIYL: Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Black Sabbath, Tool

As a follow up to their 2017 EP "Out Of Reach", Static Tension has re-emerged with their first full-length album "Ashes To Animation", which is set for release in January of 2019. The Southern Ohio based quartet delves into new musical territories with the release, offering a full pallet of sounds ranging from soft acoustics to intricate, progressive metal riffs.

Drawing upon influences stemming from classic rock, grunge, and progressive metal, Static Tension creates a sound unique to their own, self described as "Progressive Grunge". The band's influences are vast and diverse, at times resembling classic sounds of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, while also channeling a grungy, somber atmosphere similar to Alice In Chains and Soundgarden with hints of modern, heavy tones of Mastodon and Gojira.
