FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sonny Dai Unveils New EP "The Arachnoid" Set for Release on February 7, 2025
Allentown, PA — Sonny Dai, the alternative metal band led by John and bassist Calvin, is set to release The Arachnoid EP on February 7, 2025. This release marks a significant evolution in the band’s sound, showcasing a shift towards more hopeful lyrical themes while still delivering the raw, emotionally charged music that fans have come to love.
Originally started as a solo project, Sonny Dai transformed into a full-fledged band in March 2024 when Calvin joined as bassist. While John handles the writing and audio engineering, Calvin has played a vital role in evolving Sonny Dai’s sound and solidifying the group’s identity. "Sonny Dai wouldn’t be able to fully exist without Calvin," says John. "What started as a personal outlet has grown into something much larger, thanks to his contributions."
The band’s music is deeply rooted in personal experiences — a life shaped by isolation, mental health struggles, addiction, and turbulent relationships. These themes laid the foundation for the project’s earlier releases, which served as a catharsis for John’s grief, codependency, and self-doubt. However, The Arachnoid EP represents a turning point, embracing themes of hope and resilience while exploring both internal and external struggles. It’s a message to outsiders: there is light in the darkness.
Influenced by bands such as Chevelle, Helmet, and Nirvana, Sonny Dai blends alternative metal with introspective, emotionally honest lyrics. With Calvin’s contributions, the band’s sound has taken on new dimensions, further connecting with listeners seeking solace and empowerment through music.
The Arachnoid EP is set to bring a fresh perspective to the alt-metal scene and is a must-listen for fans of raw, emotionally driven music with a hopeful edge.
