Two-fifths of prominent Canadian metal outfit Protest the Hero are working on a new country-themed side-project.
Vocalist Rody Walker and bassist Arif Mirabdolbaghi have elaborated recently on a new musical endeavour, which takes its inspiration from the country genre.
Currently called Refugees, the group have unveiled tracks from the collaboration via Metal Sucks, with Walker writing the following:
"These are just some songs I've been writing. Certainly the style deviates quite drastically from Protest The Hero but I'm having a lot of fun writing the songs, and I hope it's a little fun for you to listen to.
Two of the songs currently were recorded by Cameron Mclellen and the other two were recorded separately by Arif and myself. Arif contributes the Bass, banjo, lead guitar and some harmonies, while I play the rhythm guitar, and the harmonica (quite horribly might I add).
I haven't figured out exactly what my plan is, but I'm open to suggestions. For the time being I'm going to continue writing and recording them, and posting them here for you to listen to.
Rody"
