The post-hardcore and screamo scene is churning out the visionaries who will shape the future landscape of rock music to come. Just as some artists and writers of the renaissance were under-appreciated in their time, the artists of hardcore rock are sometimes taken for granted and not given their full due.
Some people are frightened by the thought of a revolutionary change. Some people are frightened of things they can’t control or understand. This music is not just screaming backed by loud drums and detuned guitars. It’s a movement. It is tangible. It is a primal scream wrenched from very depths of a tortured soul. It is the sound of the disenfranchised youth getting fed up with people telling them how to live their lives. This is bare skin and bones of human emotion.
This is Lorakai.
Lorakai is a 5-piece rock band hailing from suburban Pittsburgh, ready to take the hardcore/metal scene by storm.
Backed by the spastic beats of drummer Mike Mercurio. The rhythm is rounded out by the intricate bass weavings of Adam Toy. The technically sound and melodic, but heavy riffs of Jeff Stouffer, and Tony Guarino give the music its edge. Cory Moyta thrives as the front man driving this band forward. Through his angelic singing, to raucous screams that leave the hair standing on your neck, Cory’s lyrics provide a schizophrenic voice to the band’s sonic assault.
Singing of hypocrisy, broken hearts, and the frustration of being misunderstood, Lorakai can connect with just about anyone. In an age where bands can be groomed, polished, and sold as a generic product, this band brings something people haven’t witnessed in a long time:
Truth.
We are just 5 real guys doing what we love, and working as hard as we can at doing it. We thank everyone that supports us, goes to our shows, buys our songs, or even just listens to us. Without you we would be NOTHING.
