UPRISING! Records is proud to announce the signing of the Danish prog metal unit ADVOCACY. The band has been causing ripples in the progressive scene in the last years, with two EPs very well received by the audience and press alike. Now, it will be time for the Scandinavian five-piece to release the debut full-length, which will be out via UPRISING! during the course of 2023. The first single from the album, titled “Cut Loose”, will be out this Friday and can be pre-saved here.
“We are very excited to become a part of UPRISING! Records and are very thankful that they see the appeal of an ambitious and challenging genre of music we love to play and listen to“, the band comments. “It is our mission to try and show that complex, melodic music has a loyal and engaging audience out there and we want to win their favor!“
Advocacy was formed in Aarhus, Denmark in the Spring of 2015 with influences from metal, jazz and progressive rock. The band’s music is multi-faceted with unorthodox time signatures, three-part vocal harmonies and compositions that take the listener on a musical journey through wide, dynamic levels and complex instrumentation. The lyrics are based on existentialism, societal issues and the stormy depths of the human mind.
2023 will feature the release of the long-awaited debut album, mixed and mastered by Frederik Uglebjerg (Svartsot, Trold). The compositions have at the same time become more complex, heavier and melodic, and the band is highly motivated on bringing their musical world to an international audience.
