Cleveland, OH — Heavy-metal band, Adrift On River Styx, are sharing their  single “Hunter/Hunted” on February 21. The track is accompanied by a brand new music video. The track is the band’s first release since their 2018 album Trial. Judgement. Accession.

“Hunter/Hunted” is a merciless track that chugs in with impeccable force. Screaming vocals are versatile and dominate the track. Adrift On River Styx showcases dynamics with hints of clean vocals and smooth transitions throughout the music, creating a cinematic atmosphere.

“The video is a visual culmination of the last two singles as well as this one. I feel it helps tell the story of the three songs we have so far, especially the contract concept, where we are all being interrogated at the desk, being forced to sign “The Contract” which is a callback to our previous single. ” – Adrift On River Styx

“This song is part of an ongoing story with the other two singles we have recently released (with our album also being a concept album). It tells the story of a man, made for a purpose, and him beginning to question that purpose. Questioning if he is more than what he is being told. It’s loosely based off the Hitman games.” – Adrift On River Styx

About Adrift On River Styx: Formed in Cleveland, Ohio, heavy-metal band Adrift On River Styx, provides merciless riffs and a story-telling atmosphere. The band tackles emotional topics surrounding mental-health, drug addiction and more in a chronically unique way. “We use a lot of subtle overtones surrounding tough interpersonal struggles.” Says lead vocalist, AJ Kotris.

Pulling musical inspiration from artists such as Contortionist, The Devil Wears Prada, Mushroom Head, Adrift On River Styx puts a spin on creativity with their 2018 album, Trial. Judgement. Accession. “Our album is a concept album, about a man who dies and goes through the underworld and goes through trials with the leaders of the underworld and he ultimately becomes the ruler of the underworld.” Says Kotris “What he sees as he’s traveling through reflects on what I go through mentally.”

The band is now gearing up to release their brutal new single, “Hunter/Hunted” as they embark on a new era of their music. “The song is heavily influenced by a video game called Hitman, the song is about realizing that whatever I’m struggling with, I have the power whether it be mental health or otherwise.” Say Kotris about the new track “It’s to say I hold the power over feeling like that.”

Adrift On River Styx has gained notoriety by premiering their single “Denial” with Alternative Press Magazine.

Reaching many successes has come with their fair share of obstacles. “I almost died and lost one of my best friends in a car accident.” Says Kotris as he grapples with the effect this moment in time had on his life and as a songwriter. “I broke my neck, people told me I was never going to walk again, then about two months later I’m playing South By Southwest.” Adrift On River Styx showcases a monumental amount of resilience and continues to do as they enter their musical career.
