████ Peace comes through struggle. ItÆs a reward thatÆs earned rather ████
████ than simply given. ItÆs the product of tireless work and an ████
████ unbreakable spirit against all odds and opposition. OTHERWISE are ████
████ no strangers to that struggle, rising up to become rock ænÆ roll ████
████ contenders in the face of a tumultuous musical climate and a ████
████ series of personal hardships. ████
████ ████
████ The Las Vegas hard alternative rock quintetùAdrian Patrick ████
████ [vocals], Ryan Patrick [guitar/vocals], Corky Gainsford ████
████ [drums/vocals], Vassilios Metropoulos [bass], & Andrew Pugh ████
████ [guitar/vocals]ùcatalog the next chapter of this journey on their ████
████ second full-length album, Peace At All Costs [Century Media ████
████ Records]. ████
████ ████
████ The ride starts with that very title. Adrian explains, ôOur ████
████ grandmother used to always say it. Peace At All Costs is a double ████
████ entendre. We interpret the phrase as, æGive us peace, or weÆll ████
████ take it from you.Æ The whole point of us being on this musical ████
████ odyssey is our search for peace. We want to do something ████
████ impactful in the world, and weÆre not going to stop. WeÆre ████
████ starting with ourselves first. ItÆs about finding inner peace and ████
████ restoring equilibrium within yourself. Music allows us to do ████
████ that.ö ████
████ ████
████ Their music has given countless fans worldwide the same outlet. ████
████ By 2014, the bandÆs debut True Love Never Dies moved nearly ████
████ 60,000 copies and spawned close to 300,000 single sales of the ████
████ hits ôSoldiers,ö ôI DonÆt Apologize (1000 Pictures),ö and ôDie ████
████ For You.ö The group toured alongside heavy hitters such as Stone ████
████ Sour, Papa Roach and Three Days Grace, and gave rousing ████
████ performances at high-profile festivals including Rock On The ████
████ Range, Aftershock, Rocklahoma, Carolina Rebellion, and Welcome To ████
████ Rockville. However, Peace At All Costs raises the stakes across ████
████ the board for the Vegas outfit. ████
████ ████
████ In order to convey their message palpably and potently, OTHERWISE ████
████ teamed up with iconic producer David Bottrill [Tool, Muse, ████
████ Staind, Stone Sour]. Holing up in Vegas View Studios, the boys ████
████ pushed themselves immensely with BottrillÆs wisdom and ████
████ encouragement. ████
████ ████
████ ôHe really did contribute to the vibe of the album,ö Adrian goes ████
████ on. ôWhether it was changing the tempo from section to section or ████
████ altering the key, David brought these new ideas to the fold, and ████
████ you can hear them in each and every song. From top to bottom, the ████
████ album has a lot of personality because of his contributions.ö ████
████ ████
████ The musicians also had the chance to experience the other side of ████
████ their hometown while recording. Vegas View Studios sits on the ████
████ edge of the Las Vegas Valley, offering a stunning panorama of the ████
████ wilderness surrounding the city. ôIt was the most beautiful ████
████ view,ö affirms the singer. ôMost recording studios are like ████
████ casinos. There are no windows. You go in, and you have no idea ████
████ what time it is. We had a beautiful vista of our hometown, and it ████
████ lent to inspiration every night we were working.ö ████
████ ████
████ That lush expanse carries over into the first single ôDarker Side ████
████ of the Moon.ö Building from a thick distorted guitar into a ████
████ robust melody, the song blasts off on a hypnotic and hard-hitting ████
████ hook, opening up the doorway into Peace At All Costs. ████
████ ████
████ ôIÆve always been fascinated with the moon ever since I was a ████
████ kid,ö affirms Adrian. ôIÆm still drawn to it as a grown-up. I ████
████ find myself lost in it without even knowing what IÆm doing ████
████ sometimes. WeÆve faced a lot of tragedies and dark times, and ████
████ that song represents us. WeÆre always going to try and look for ████
████ the light in the darkness. WeÆll thrive there if we have to. ████
████ ThereÆs a whole dark side of the moon we donÆt know about, and ████
████ weÆre going to explore it. ThatÆs whatÆs happening musically on ████
████ this album." ████
████ ████
████ That experimentation hits a high note during ôNever Say.ö With ████
████ its massive stadium-size refrain and rapturous instrumentation, ████
████ the track brandishes undeniable universality. ôItÆs one of two ████
████ songs blatantly about romantic relationships on the album,ö says ████
████ the vocalist. ôMy parents have been together for over thirty ████
████ years. No matter what they go through, they refuse to walk away ████
████ from each other. We completely admire our mom and dad and that ████
████ loyalty. My brother and I have brought that into our own ████
████ relationships. I have someone in my life who has helped pull me ████
████ out of the emotional abyss I was in. SheÆs shown me what itÆs ████
████ like to be happy again. I donÆt want to be the one to say ████
████ goodbye.ö ████
████ ████
████ At the same time, the album still delivers a distinct wallop on ████
████ the pummeling, riff-driven opener ôLove & War,ö co-written with ████
████ songwriters Julien Jorgensen and Matty McCloskey. Seesawing ████
████ between a guillotine-sharp guitar and a distinct groove, it ████
████ explodes on impact. ôThe guitar was just nasty,ö smiles Adrian. ████
████ ôThe melody came right out. I was arguing with my girlfriend at ████
████ the time, and it shaped the lyrics and subject matter of the ████
████ song.ö ████
████ ████
████ Ultimately, OTHERWISE do achieve Peace At All Costs, and they ████
████ hope you will too. He concludes, ôOur main goal is for people to ████
████ feel hope. We attempted to do that on True Love Never Dies. We ████
████ want to continue that fight on this and subsequent albums. There ████
████ are so many emotions in life. YouÆre not just always angry, ████
████ happy, or sad. When the dark moments come, you just have to stay ████
████ strong within yourself and you can make it through. We need to ████
████ stay hopeful together. ThatÆs the point.ö ████
