Frontierer

FRONTIERER is widely known for their unrelenting, uncompromising brand of sonic punishment. Originally a two-person bedroom project created by Scottish guitarist and primary songwriter Pedram Valiani and American vocalist Chad Kapper, the band has since grown to become a fully-fledged touring machine with bassist Iain MacLeod, guitarist Dan Stevenson, and drummer Luke Coursey fleshing out the current lineup. Following their debut live performance at UK Tech Metal Festival 2016, FRONTIERER was listed in Rolling Stone Magazine’s Best Metal Albums twice with two subsequent albums in 2016 and 2018 reaching #14 and #17 respectively and have gone on to support Converge and Better Lovers in Europe to mainly sold out shows and tours. Additionally, the band has made their mark alongside heavyweights in their genre such as Converge and The Dillinger Escape Plan with critical acclaim from Bandcamp Daily's article A History Of Mathcore, citing FRONTIERER as a, "venomous brand of future-punk well worth exploring." Their latest release, The Skull Burned Wearing Hell Like a Life Vest as the Night Wept, compresses Frontierer’s sonic fury into a brief, wild, gut-wrenching experience, setting a powerful precedent for new material expected in 2025 and beyond. This release, over ten years after their first, The Collapse, showcases the band’s formidable evolution and their journey from strength to strength as they approach the ten-year anniversary of their debut album, Orange Mathematics.
