Extinguish The Sun - "Transformations" Makes Top 20 list at World Of Metal ! Check it out here at this link: https://worldofmetalmag.com/album-do-mes-julho-2022-2/

Second album of these Americans who proved to be an excellent surprise. A dynamic toada that goes from progressive altering to a few proximals with sludge, makes this work very interesting. It is the most progressive strand that turns out to be the most effective in our ears, however, as a whole, this is a surprisingly cohesive and strong record with songs that have hooks and incredibles. And in that aspect only one or two ("Planet Nowhere" I'm pointing the finger at you)which are not particularly interesting because it is also an excellent album for those who like alternative music and its wide range. - World Of Metal

Short Bio:

Extinguish The Sun are an Illinois based metal band formed in the fall of 2015.

All in all it makes for a potent combination of sounds that has terrorized clubs and punk houses across the region. They’re a metal bands metal band.

After a few years of hard work, Extinguish The Sun released their first full length, Antihero in 2017. A couple years later in 2019 they released their EP, Oceans. Both of these offerings had tracks that were featured on the Reverbnation home page, a massive accolade for an emerging act. This fueled countless killer shows around the region. In 2020, a year cursed by the coronavirus pandemic the band stayed busy, releasing a live recording from the nationally broadcast NPR show, “Sessions From Studio A” where they were the first and, to date, only metal band to play the show.

During lockdown Extinguish The Sun stayed hard at work writing a new album. This record promises to be a massive step forward for the group. It builds on the bands core sound in a way that continues to push the boundaries. With the gradual return of live music, they hope to play live as much as possible. A new era is coming for these Illinois madmen. Join them on their quest or be left in the dust.
