about
Long Island, NY based band HEAVYHEX announce their debut album, True To You, set for release May 3rd on Bridge Nine Records (Pre-Order is live over on the B9 webstore). The ten songs on the album dive deep into the realm of personal struggles, societal issues, and the demand for equality. Collaborating with producer Jay Maas (Love Letter, Defeater), the band channeled their collective energy and creativity to shape guitar tones that strike a balance of aggression, clarity and emotion, accompanied by fast and hard-hitting percussion. Having teased with early single “You Can’t Stay Here,” HEAVYHEX now unleash the title track “True To You.” The song builds off high-energy guitars and impassioned vocals with a raw edge before driving into lush melodies.
The video for the song was directed by Richie Duque, and on it vocalist Dave Gastiaburo comments: "The video closely follows the theme of the song. It’s about the importance of not folding to the pressure of your 9 to 5, while continuing to prioritize the things that you are passionate about. To stay true to yourself."
Formed in 2020, HEAVYHEX released their debut EP, Stare, in 2022, followed by a two song single, Give Yourself Away, that same year. The band is a part of the blossoming Long Island melodic hardcore scene alongside bands including Stand Still, Koyo, and Private Mind. The band’s captivating, sing-a-long ready live show has allowed them to share the stage with acts like Silent Majority, Militarie Gun, Soul Glo, I Am The Avalanche, and Spite House. HEAVYHEX is the newest addition to Bridge Nine Records, joining the long running home to hardcore, which started in 1995 and has put out releases for Have Heart, American Nightmare, New Found Glory, Ceremony, Agnostic Front, H2O, Defeater, Crime In Stereo, and Strike Anywhere to name a few.
HEAVYHEX is Daniel Lukach (Guitar & Vocals), David Gastiaburo (Vocals), Cody Hermann (Bass), Jeremy Gardiner (Guitar), and Michael DiLello (Drums).
lyrics
LYRICS:
I can’t accept
A life that isn’t mine
To work myself
This hard until I die
I’m sick and tired
Of settling for less
With no relief
I pray for more than this
I pray for more than-
Nothing is worth your health
Nothing is worth the pain
Nothing is worth the stress you carry with you everyday
Nothing can take away
What you hold true
What will you do
When there’s a world outside these walls
That calls out to you
What will you do?
There’s a world outside these walls
It calls out to you
When will you see it?
There’s a world outside these walls
It calls out to you
I won’t abide
To my father’s fate
To see these hands
Grow old, grow weak, and grow afraid
Of a life as a slave
For a man who couldn’t care less if these hands
Began to dig up their own grave
A better life
One meant for you
Find what you love
And let it kill you
