House Of Protection - Outrun You All

For anyone unfamiliar with House of Protection, be assured that when it comes to metal, you’re in safe hands. Made up of longtime friends Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta - who have jointly played in the likes of The Chariot, Night Verses and FEVER 333 along the way - the project has already seen them bag an array of accolades and sizeable support slots; and with their newest EP ‘Outrun You All’, those stages are only going to get bigger. Opening with a sparkling female-voiced introduction (via the mind-meltingly titled ‘524å§ł€€°’), the ante is quickly upped with the commanding ‘Afterlife’, a track that smashes together metalcore, electronica and drum’n’bass to punishing effect. Landing somewhere in the middle of Bring Me The Horizon, Deftones and Pendulum - thanks, in part, to the influence of producer du jour and former BMTH member Jordan Fish - this is stadium-sized, adrenaline-inducing chaos at its finest.
