South African post-hardcore band Climate Control has been a constant on the scene since 2007. Yet now, the group is ready to to take matters to the next level with the release of their debut album, "Preludes."
Described as a love affair between aggression and emotion, "Preludes" aims to bridge the gap between the mainstream and the underground. Vocalist/guitarist Nicolas Gonzalez says, ""I've always placed emphasis on writing songs with hooks, and our band will always have that element of melody, as well as aggression. We want to make relevant music - but, at the same time, music which isn't compromised for the purpose of fitting into a specific scene."
The first two singles ["A Bouquet of Hate, An Ocean of Questions" and "This Chemical Overload"], from Preludes, have received critical acclaim and been playlisted on major local radio stations, such as 5FM and Tuks FM, and the US radio station Rock Radio. Furthermore, "A Bouquet of Hate, An Ocean of Questions" stormed to the #1 spot on The Rock Dimension's Tenacious 10 chart, and the music video for the track has also been featured on BlankTV and MK Ondergrond, as well as in a video game montage by the FaZe Clan YouTube channel, where it has racked up an incredible 350, 000 views to date.
