With music being regurgitated and sounding the same without any meaning behind it nowadays, the debut EP “ACT I: REVEAL” from HERO IN ME is cause to alter that very belief. With heavy, groove-influenced breakdowns and riffage as if Adam D. and Thin Lizzy had a love child, this EP will be the start of something fresh in the metal world.
Heavy, aggressive metal with crushing breakdowns, groove filled riffs, technical drums, a powerful message and a unique concept. Not your traditional Metalcore band.
Band Concept/Storyline:
“During the Space Race between the U.S and the U.S.S.R., there were a number of missions before the infamous APOLLO missions called, PROJECT GEMINI. They were used as research and training for a moon landing that JFK at that time had been pushing for incessantly. During the final GEMINI mission, GEMINI XII, Buzz Aldrin had not only set an orbital record for EVA (Extra-Vehicular Activity or “Space Walk”) but also launched a vessel, HERCULES, as a part of the Top-Secret Mission: Project Hero. This vessel consisted of five capsules that contained vital information to our civilization and way of life. It was used primarily to communicate with potential extraterrestrial life.
Nothing has been heard of the HERCULES vessel since it was sent into orbit 50 years ago. Until now…
NASA could not have named this mission anything more fitting than Project Hero. HERCULES has landed in Southern California with its five capsules still intact inside the vessel, but with very different contents. Each had an intense phosphorescence of a different color. Each contains a different element and ability that each represent the different galaxies that HERCULES had traveled to – Fire (Red), Invisibility (Clear), Telekinesis (White), Ice (Blue), and Teleportation (Orange). Five friends have obtained these abilities and have no clue what they have just stumbled upon. Project: Hero is now reinstated.
There is a hero in all of us. For these five friends, these words could not mean more…”
