If you're not acquainted with House of Protection, rest assured that you’re in capable hands when it comes to metal. Consisting of longtime friends Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta—who have collaboratively performed in bands such as The Chariot, Night Verses, and FEVER 333—the project has already earned numerous accolades and significant support slots. With the release of their latest EP ‘Outrun You All’, their stages are set to expand further. The EP begins with an enchanting female-voiced introduction (from the intriguingly titled ‘524å§ł€€°’), quickly intensified by the powerful track ‘Afterlife’, which fuses metalcore, electronica, and drum’n’bass with striking impact. Drawing comparisons to the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Deftones, and Pendulum—partly due to the influence of prominent producer and former BMTH member Jordan Fish—this is an exhilarating, stadium-ready chaos at its best.
